Expressive Agents for Symbiotic Education and Learning (EASEL)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

EASEL will explore and develop a theoretical understanding of human-robot symbiotic interaction (HRSI) where symbiosis is defined as the capacity of the robot and the person to mutually influence each other, and alter each other's behaviour over different time-scales (for instance, within encounters and across encounters). Symbiosis requires that the robot can read, and be responsive to, the behav ...

Investigating Speech Processing in Realistic Environments (INSPIRE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

In everyday life, people listen to speech under a wide range of conditions that are “non-optimal” relative to the controlled conditions in laboratory experiments. Classical research methods can only deal with the effects of individual “adverse” conditions. This has contributed to the fragmentation of speech communication research in numerous sub-disciplines that have little interaction. While each ...
