About me

Prof. David Pinto obtained his PhD in artificial intelligence and pattern recognition at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain in 2008. At present he is a full time professor at the Faculty of Computer Science of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP) leading the laboratory and PhD Program of Language & Knowledge Engineering. His areas of interest include clustering, information retrieval, crosslingual NLP tasks, computational linguistics, robotics, augmented reality, virtual reality, mobile devices and complexity theory.

He has written more than 100 papers and has developed research projects, whose products have been registered in the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property.

He has created various laboratories, being the last one, the Language & Knowledge Engineering Lab, visited by several national and international researchers for establishing collaboration in different topics of artificial intelligence.

Dr. Pinto has a humanoid named Arthur, a robot capable of listening, viewing, speaking, understanding, but more interesting, being able to show emotional expressions. This robot is being used for projects such as the following ones: language disorder treatment, behavioral disorders detection, and diagnostics of serious medical illness such as depression.

He is a very active researcher with duties in academia, but also performing other activities such as consulting and executing projects with direct application in industrial companies.

David Pinto Avendaño (BUAP). Emotions can be defined as a conscious experience that is associated with a particular pattern of physiological activity. They involve different components, such as subjective experience, cognitive processes, expressive behavior, psychophysiological changes, and instrumental behavior. Emotions are characterized by intense mental activity and a high degree of pleasure or displeasure which may be categorized in one of a wide number of possible emotional states such as happiness or sadness. In this talk we will discuss about emotional expressions of a realistic robot we have at our laboratoy of Language & Knowledge Engineering (with the presence of such Robot in the talk). But we will also, discuss about how expressions of this kind may influence in the process of interaction between humans and robots, therefore, the discussion will be in some way associated with HRI, as often referred to Human-Robot Interaction, which is a multidisciplinary field with contributions from human–computer interaction, artificial intelligence, robotics, natural language understanding, design, and social sciences.
