I received my Engineering degree and Ph.D. degree from UTC (University of Technology of Compiegne) and my accreditation to Direct Research (HDR) in Computer Science from Grenoble INP. I am currently a researcher at the LIG laboratory (Grenoble Informatics Laboratory). My scientific expertise lies in the field of **Cognitive and Affective computing**, | ||

- | A major objective in the area of information technologies is to develop interactive devices that are more attractive and closer to the users and that can be considered as believable interlocutors. This leads to an increasing interest in research works on Artificial Intelligence and Affective Computing, with particular attention to Social Robots, Virtual Characters and more generally to Artificial Companions. Artificial companions can be defined as socially, affective and interactive believable artificial interlocutors with which the user builds a kind of life-long relationship. | + | ### |

- | Considering such issues, we intended to contribute both at the theoretical level and the application level. Thus, we have investigated the relations between emotions and communication and proposed a Multimodal Conversational Language (MCL) that allows an artificial companion to express in a expressive manner, verbal and non-verbal, and to interact in a more human-like manner. We have also defined a Cognitive and Affective Architecture (BDI-like reasoning approach integrating Emotion) to deduce the communicative intention of an artificial companion from its mental states. | + | ### |

- | + | ||
- | This project focuses on artificial companions for children of ages between 8 and 12 in a home environment. The overall goal is to construct a mixed agent society, composed of companion agents, such as robots and virtual characters, as well as humans. In this society, human-agent relationships will take the same form as with human-human relationships. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | This project aims at providing some answers to questions as: Is a group of companions more desirable than a single companion? Can the group help clarifying the social role of each companion, and thus making these companions more acceptable? Furthermore, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | We also aim to design the robot companions so as to suit the children’s needs but with a mannerism that is compatible with the parents style of parenting. We want to know if style can explain interpersonal variability | + | |
