Challenges in Social Robotics: Long-term Interaction, Personalization and Trust - Symposium 2024

Social robots are more and more part of our daily lives, and the design of their behaviors greatly affects the way people interact with them. To ensure optimal engagement, long-term adaptation and personalized robot’s behavior to the user’s specific needs and profile should be envisaged. This presentation will explore innovative perception and interaction capabilities and address the challenges raised by inter-individual differences and intra-individual variability over time. Several studies that highlight these aspects and demonstrate the importance of personalized robotic interactions will be discussed.

This talk was given at the Hi! PARIS Symposium by Adriana Tapus, a Professor at ENSTA Paris, member of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, in the Autonomous Systems and Robotics Laboratory of the Computer Science and Systems Engineering Unit (U2IS). In 2011, she obtained Habilitation (HDR) for her thesis titled “Towards a personalized Human-Robot Interaction”.
