Welcome! My name is Esteve Valls, and I am PhD Researcher at TUWien. My work is focused on Human intention recognition and prediction for Human Robot Collaborative behaviours.

I am passionate about exploring the intricate workings of human cognitive levels, and how they can be leveraged to enhance the social awareness of robots. My research focuses on using computer vision and deep learning to improve the perception of robots, enabling them to function seamlessly in populated environments. As I delve deeper into this field, I am constantly amazed by the possibilities that lie ahead, and the potential for these innovations to change the world we live in.
