About
Stefania Costantini is a prominent researcher whose work spans artificial intelligence, multi-agent systems, cognitive robotics, and human-robot interaction. She is perhaps best known for her development of DALI, a multi-agent system framework designed to support cognitive robotics, complex event processing, and web-based applications — a contribution that has garnered significant attention within the AI community, with her foundational 2016 and 2017 papers accumulating nearly 30 citations combined. Her research explores how intelligent agents can be engineered to interact empathically with humans, incorporating multimodal communication channels such as facial expression, body posture, and voice to create more naturalistic exchanges. More recently, Costantini has turned her attention to socially assistive robots in elderly care, investigating not only their technical design but also the profound ethical, legal, and societal questions they raise — work that has already attracted 10 citations since its 2025 publication. Her interest in trustworthy and explainable AI systems is evident in her cognitive architecture for dietary guidance robots. Through reinforcement learning environments and epistemic logic frameworks, Costantini continues bridging theoretical foundations with real-world autonomous systems, making her a significant voice in responsible, human-centered AI development.
