Madeleine Bartlett is a Research Fellow at the University of Waterloo, affiliated with the Post Doctoral Scholars and Visitors groups. Her work bridges neuroscience and artificial intelligence, focusing on biologically plausible algorithms and their applications in robotics and human-robot interaction. Her research explores how neural mechanisms inspire computational models for reinforcement learning, action representation, and social signal processing. Key areas include integrating biological constraints into machine learning systems and developing robots capable of interpreting human social cues, particularly for therapeutic applications in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Her publications highlight contributions to continuous action representations in basal ganglia models, biologically-based memory systems for reinforcement learning, and statistical rigor in human-robot interaction studies. She has also pioneered methods for estimating engagement in social HRI using novel neural architectures like Legendre memory units. While no formal awards or grants are listed, her work demonstrates significant innovation at the intersection of neuroscience-inspired AI and socially assistive robotics. She contributes to advancing robots as therapeutic tools through validated autonomous systems that mimic human guidance patterns observed in ASD therapy contexts.
