معرفی
Amy Loutfi is a Professor of Information Technology at Örebro University, where she leads the AI, Robotics and Cybersecurity Center (ARC), and serves as Program Director for the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) at Linköping University. Born in Saint John, Canada (1978), she earned her PhD in Computer Science from Örebro University (2006) and became a Docent (2011) and Professor (2015) in Information Technology there.
Her research focuses on intelligent sensor systems, particularly their integration with artificial intelligence to convert raw data (e.g., from robotic olfaction or vision sensors) into human-interpretable semantic information. She explores human-robot interaction dynamics, emphasizing safety, collaboration, and usability across diverse environments like homes and industries. Key projects include BioLearning (water quality analysis), MicroSens (taste perception via microbiota), and TeamRob (robot teams working with humans).
Amy’s work bridges technical innovation with societal impact, addressing challenges in healthcare, elder care, and smart home technologies. She advocates for Sweden’s national AI strategy and emphasizes ethical considerations in emerging robotics. Her research also involves collaboration with industry and public sectors, as seen in the E-care@home and Mednose initiatives.
In 2020, she was elected to the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) for her contributions. Her grants and projects include strategic funding for AI applications and interdisciplinary collaborations. She collaborates with global teams and contributes to conferences like ICSR (Social Robotics) and ECAI (Artificial Intelligence).
