Dr Francesco Del Duchetto

Francesco is a Lecturer in Robotics and Autonomous Systems at the Lincoln Centre for Autonomous Systems at the University of Lincoln UK and an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA). The aims of his research are endowing robots with the capabilities to operate autonomously in everyday human environments and to interact with people in a socially appropriate fashion. To this end, I develop methodologies for robot learning from human feedback, for enabling and studying social perception in human-robot interactions, and for enabling robot autonomy.
