About
Artemiy Kotov is a pioneering researcher in socially emotional and cognitive robotics, with a focus on creating companion robots that feel genuinely alive. His work centers on non-verbal communication, social gaze, and semantic comprehension—key areas for building robots capable of natural, empathetic interaction. Kotov’s major contributions include demonstrating how specific non-verbal behaviors (like eye and mouth animations) boost robot likeability, and how social gaze can induce the impression of consciousness in machines. His F-2 robot platform serves as a testbed for these innovations, integrating conceptual processing systems and emotional speech understanding. With over 75 citations across his top papers, his 2020 study on non-verbal behavior (24 citations) and his 2021 work on social gaze (14 citations) are particularly influential. Kotov also co-authored a manifesto for new-generation AI, advocating for socially emotional, ethical, and self-sustaining artificial intelligence. His recent work on cognitive architectures for semantic shifts and scenario oppositions pushes the boundaries of how robots can adapt to complex human contexts. For students and researchers, Kotov’s research offers a compelling vision of robots as conscious companions, blending linguistics, psychology, and engineering.
