About
Enmeng Lu is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and human-robot interaction. His work focuses on developing brain-inspired computational models that endow machines with social cognition capabilities—particularly theory of mind, empathy, and bodily self-perception. Lu’s most influential contribution is his brain-inspired model of theory of mind (2020, 39 citations), which translates neural mechanisms of mental state attribution into computational architectures for socially aware AI. He has further advanced the field by creating affective empathy models that enable altruistic behavior in artificial agents, as demonstrated in his work on altruistic rescue tasks (2022, 6 citations) and moral AI systems (2025). Lu’s research on mitigating emotional risks in human-robot interaction (2023, 17 citations) addresses critical ethical challenges as robots become integrated into daily life. His innovative brain-inspired bodily self-perception model (2023) explores how robots can experience body ownership illusions, pushing the boundaries of machine consciousness. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 80, Lu’s work is shaping the next generation of emotionally intelligent, ethically-aligned robots that can understand, empathize with, and safely collaborate with humans.
