Prof. Craighero—who is also co-author of our recent publication in Science Robotics—will discuss the basic kinematic characteristics of biological movement and how these are affected by the intent of the agent. The possibility to collaborate successfully depends on the ability to decode intentions from movement kinematics. Prof. Craighero argues that actions performed by robots moving with non-biological kinematics are processed differently from the same actions performed by a human or a robot moving with biological kinematics.
