Pamela Carreno-Medrano is a Research Fellow at Monash Robotics. She received a combined B.Eng. degree in computer engineering from the École Nationale d’Ingénieurs de Brest (France) and an M.Sc. degree in computer science from Universidad EAFIT (Colombia) in 2012. She completed her PhD at the University of Bretagne-Sud, France, in 2016.

Her research focuses on developing autonomous, intelligent agents (virtual and embodied) that can adequately interact with humans in short- and long-term scenarios. In particular, she is interested in investigating how the information humans convey through their movements and action choices can be used to inform and guide a robot’s actions and social-interactive behaviour. Her research interests include robot interactive learning, socially assistive robots, and digital health.
