Pasa's home page

In my virtual life I'm up to build embodied life-like artificial systems, systems that grow, act, think, and feel... tricky business though... I'm the father of the babybot, a baby humanoid robot (still baby after 5 years!) and in the process of creating the secondborn iCub. I'm fond of the beauty of C++ coding... isn't programming an art?

In "real life" my name is Giorgio Metta, I'm assistant professor at LIRA-Lab, University of Genova. LIRA-Lab is within the Department of Communication, Computer and Systems Science (DIST) at the University of Genoa.
I am also Senior Researcher at the Robotics, Brain and Cognitive Sciences department at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa.
Sometime in the past, for about 20 months, I was in Massachusetts at the AI-Lab at MIT having a lot of fun within the Humanoid Robotics Group - my work at MIT click here.
