-**ELSA** - Effective Learning of Social ​Affordancesfor human-robot interaction ​(ANR/FWF AAPG, 2022-2026): Affordances are action opportunities directly perceived by an agent to interact with its environment. The concept is gaining interest in robotics, where it offers a rich description of the objects and the environment,​ focusing on the potential interactions rather than the sole physical properties. In this project, we extend this notion to social affordances. The goal is for robots to autonomously learn not only the physical effects of interactive actions with humans, but also the humansʼ reactions they produce (emotion, speech, movement). For instance, pointing and gazing in the same direction make humans orient towards the pointed direction, while pointing and looking at the finger make humans look at the finger. Besides, scratching the robotʼs chin makes some but not all humans smile. The project will investigate how learning human- general and human-specific social affordances can enrich a robotʼs action repertoire for human-aware task planning and efficient human-robot interaction.+**ELSA** - Effective Learning of Social ​Affordances for Human-Robot Interaction ​(ANR/FWF AAPG, 2022-2026): Affordances are action opportunities directly perceived by an agent to interact with its environment.

-**SEAMLESS LEVELS OF ABSTRACTION FOR ROBOT COGNITION** - (Austrian Science Fund (FWF) - Lise Meitner Project, 2019-2021): The project seeks to develop a robotic cognitive architecture that overcomes the difficulties found when integrating different levels of abstractions (e.g. AI and robotic techniques) for task plan and execution in unstructured scenarios. The backbone of the project is a unified approach that permits searching for feasible solutions for new tasks execution at all the levels of abstractions simultaneously,​ where symbolic descriptions are no longer disentangled from the physical aspects they represent. ​+**SEAROCO** - Seamless Levels of Abstraction for Robot Cognition ​(Austrian Science Fund (FWF) - Lise Meitner Project, 2019-2023): The project seeks to develop a robotic cognitive architecture that overcomes the difficulties found when integrating different levels of abstractions (e.g. AI and robotic techniques) for task plan and execution in unstructured scenarios.
