About
Michel-Ange Amorim is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of cognitive science, human-robot interaction, and consciousness studies. His work fundamentally explores how humans perceive, integrate, and respond to multimodal social signals—from the subtle haptic feedback of a robot's handshake to the complex architecture of conscious experience. In a landmark 2015 study (21 citations), Amorim demonstrated how participants combine a humanoid robot's facial expressions with tactile sensations during an affective handshake, revealing the nuanced ways we attribute emotion to artificial agents. More recently, his ambitious 2023 "Projective Consciousness Model" (5 citations) proposes that projective geometry forms the core of consciousness, unifying perception, imagination, emotion, and social cognition into a single framework—a bold theoretical contribution that reimagines the very structure of subjective experience. Amorim also advances practical applications in assistive technology, developing EMG-to-torque models for exoskeleton control (2024, 3 citations) that aim to predict user intention with greater precision. His work bridges high-level theory and embodied interaction, making him a distinctive voice in cognitive robotics and the science of consciousness.
