Estela Bicho (DEng, MSc, PhD, Habil), is a Full Professor of the Department of Industrial Electronics, School of Engineering (EEUM), at the University of Minho (UMinho), integrated member of the Algoritmi Research Centre, where she coordinates the Control, Automation and Robotics Group (Research line Industrial Electronics) and leads the MAR Lab - Mobile and Anthropomorphic Robotics Lab. She was Associate Director of the Research Center Algoritmi (2013-2015) and vice-president of EEUM in charge of interaction with society (2019-2022). She obtained her PhD degree in Robotics, Automation and Control in 1999 from the University of Minho, Portugal. In 1995-99 she was a member of the 'Equipe de Dynamique', at the 'Centre de Recherche en Neurosciences Cognitives' at CNRS in Marseille, France. She has been PI, or Co-PI, in several national and international projects (FP5, FP6, FP7, H2020-PT, FCT) in ICT / Artificial intelligence, Robotics, and Health care. Her research focuses on uni- and multi-robot systems, cognitive robotics, human-robot interaction & collaboration, machine learning, uni- and bimanual robotic manipulation, autonomous navigation, intelligent vehicles aware of their occupants, medical robotics, and medical devices for the study and diagnosis of Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's diseases, and neuro-rehabilitation. She is co-author of more than 100 indexed (e.g., ISI, Scopus) publications in international high-quality peer-reviewed journals (e.g., Mechanism and Machine Theory, International Journal of Robotics Systems, Autonomous Robots, Neural Networks, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems) and conferences (e.g., IROS, ICRA). She has been a reviewer/evaluator in service of the European Commission and a reviewer in several journals on robotics. She supervised 12 PhD theses and co-supervised 2. She has supervised more than 45 MSc dissertations. She has received several awards and distinctions, including her PhD work, which received the 1999 Portuguese IBM Honour Award; the results of the robotics work on Human-Robot Joint action - with connections to neurosciences, developed by the UMinho team in the scope of the European project JAST-, were considered one of the success stories of robotics research in Europe ("Results that Lead the Way," ICT success stories "JAST- Robots get the power of prediction"); the video "The Power of Prediction: Robots that Read Intentions," Bicho et al., which summarised the work done by the UMinho team within the European project JAST was nominated for the six finalists of the Jubilee video award of the 2012 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, an award that aimed to recognize works illustrating the history and/or milestones of intelligent robotics research in the last 25 years. In 2019, her PhD students, Weronika Wojtak, Flora Ferreira, and Paulo Vicente, won a third prize in the elimination round of the "International Brain-Inspired Computing Competition" in Beijing, China, which brought together 200 teams from all over the world, where we presented a robot that learns sequences about what to do and when, then uses them flexibly in various contexts of human-robot interaction and collaboration. Recently, RoboHub nominated her as one of the "50 Women in Robotics you need to know about in 2021".
