My robots are rich
How robots can represent the world and the humans? how can they talk, plan, decide? It took us three years (!) but our big paper on artificial cognition for social human-robot interaction is finally out! Have a look, I've put the PDF online.
Update! We have been awarded the Best 'Theory and Methods' Paper Award for our formalization of the idea of `With-me-ness' in robotics. Fantastic!
The annual Human-Robot Interaction conference is coming soon: I'll be flying New Zeland to present our last year's work on attention and engagement tracking between humans and robots (nominated for the Best Paper award!).
Alexis is going to present the results of 3 rather long studies where we show that robots can indeed help children struggling with hand-writing.
I'm also really glad to co-organize with Paul Baxter the (co-located) 2nd Intl. Workshop on Cognitive Architectures for Social HRI.
Here we are! we've moved to Plymouth this summer, and I will soon start to work on a Theory of Mind for our robots, with Tony Belpaeme at the University of Plymouth!
Thanks to a press release by the EPFL media office, the CoWriter project got a lot of media coverage this month!
I presented two papers during the Human_Robot Interaction Conference: one the the CoWriter project, one on new perspectives towards implementing a Theory of Mind for robots. Check the Publications section below to download the papers and the Talks section for the presentations.
On air! I've been interviewed for 25 min on the place of robots in our society by the Swiss national radio RTS. You can listen to the interview (in French!) online.
I've been awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship to work on the Theory of Mind for robots with Tony Belpaeme at the University of Plymouth (and Claire got one as well!). We are moving to UK next summer!
