Abstract:
We are today observing two rapid shifts in the field of social robotics and human-robot interaction: going from focused lab studies to complex real-world experiments; relying more and more on data-driven techniques to both interpret and generate socially congruent behaviours. In this talk, I will present the work accomplished at BRL over the last 3 years to push forward this agenda, and sketch out some of the coming challenges for social robotics.

Bio:
Séverin Lemaignan is Associate Professor in Social Robotics and AI at Bristol Robotics Lab, UK, working on social and cognitive robotics. His research interests primarily concern the socio-cognitive aspects of human-robot interaction, both from the perspective of the human cognition and the design of cognitive architectures for the robots. More recently, he has been focusing his experimental work on child-robot interactions in educative settings, exploring how robots can support teachers and therapists to develop effective and engaging novel learning paradigms.
Séverin obtained a joint PhD in Cognitive Robotics from the CNRS/LAAS (France) and the Technical University of Munich (Germany) for which he received the ‘Best PhD in Robotics 2012’ award from French CNRS. He then conducted his research as Research Fellow at EPFL (Switzerland) and Plymouth University (UK) where he was Lecturer in Robotics until 2018. Dr Séverin Lemaignan has been involved in several European projects related to social and cognitive robotics: CHRIS (Cooperative Human Robot Interaction Systems), DREAM (Development of Robot-Enhanced therapy for children with AutisM spectrum disorders), L2TOR (Second language TutOring using social Robots). He has also been awarded in 2015 a EU H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship for his project DoRoThy (Donating Robots a Theory of Mind).
