About

Luca Anselma is a leading researcher in artificial intelligence, with a primary focus on multimodal human-robot interaction and educational robotics. His work explores how robots, particularly humanoid platforms like Pepper, can engage in dialogic, speech-image coordination to teach abstract concepts in mathematics and physics. Anselma’s major contribution lies in shifting from traditional lecture-based models to learner-centered, interactive systems that leverage structured multimodal communication. His most cited paper, "Towards a Structured Multimodal Speech-Image Coordination" (2025), has garnered significant attention for its novel framework that integrates speech and visual cues to enhance comprehension and engagement in STEM education. With over 1,000 citations across his body of work, Anselma’s research has had a profound impact on the fields of cognitive robotics and educational technology. He is also recognized for his interdisciplinary approach, bridging AI, linguistics, and pedagogy, and has been invited to speak at major conferences on the future of human-robot collaboration in learning environments.
