Rodrigo Ventura (PhD) is a tenured Associate Professor of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon, and a senior researcher of the Institute for Systems and Robotics (ISR-Lisbon), part of the Laboratory of Robotics and Engineering Systems (LARSyS). He is the coordinator of the Minor in Space Sciences and Technologies at IST. He collaborates regularly with the International Space University (ISU) in academic activities. Broadly, his research is focused on the intersection between Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, with particular interest in human-robot interaction, mobile manipulation, biologically inspired cognitive architectures, and machine learning. This research is driven by applications in space robotics, aerial robots, and service robots. His research in space robotics led to robotic experiments on the International Space Station (ISS) and in various analog space exploration missions.
