Qualitative Spatial Reasoning for human-centred Robotics

Paulo  Santos  received  his  PhD  degree  in  artificial intelligence from Imperial College, London, UK, working on the development  of  spatial  reasoning  systems  for  mobile  robots  under the supervision of Murray Shanahan.  He was a research assistant at the School of Computing, University of Leeds, UK developing research on Cognitive Vision Systems. Dr. Santos led a research group in AI and Robotics in Sao Paulo, Brazil, until 2019, conducting a number of research projects of industrial interest. Currently Dr.  Santos is the Associate Professor of AI and Robotics at Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia.

Dr.  Santos has published the results of his research in key journals such as the Artificial Intelligence Journal, Spatial Cognition and Computation, Artificial Intelligence  in  Medicine,  and  Applied  Intelligence  Journal.   Most  of  his published material reflects his interest in spatial cognition and automated reasoning systems, with emphasis on robotics applications.
