-I am full-time Professor at University of Grenoble-Alps. 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) and Assistant Director of the IUT2 (University Institute of Technology 2). I conduct my research in the fields of Multi-Agent Systems, Artificial Intelligence and Affective Computing. My expertise is particularly linked to cognitive architectures and to social and affective Human-Robot Interaction and Human-Virtual Character Interaction.

-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.

 We used them in experiments aimed at assessing the benefits of our approaches in terms of perceived sincerity, believability and acceptability of a companion interacting with a human user. Our main issue was social interaction between humans and artificial companions in daily life situations (guarding, playing, assistance, coaching, comforting, teaching,...).

 ###
-This has led us to now focuse our research works on **social robotics** and **Human-Robot Interaction** (HRI). Robots and humans share the same open area, interact, collaborate, dialogue, and exchange physical objects or knowledge. They are brought to work, live together in **everyday life situations** as well as **professional situations**. This is the case in the context of **cobotics** (**collaborative robotics**) in innovative industries where operators and cobots work together without protective barriers.

-A key issue in cobotics is social acceptability of the cobot. Research in this field is inherently interdisciplinary (artificial intelligence, robotics, psychology, cognitive science, ergonomics) as human factors are omnipresent.
