These include models of engagement, joint attention, personality style and collaborative state.
Furhat Robotics is offering this Industri PhD position together with Max Planck Institute in Netherlands.
You will contribute to developing computational models of high-level conversational skills in a multiparty human-robot interaction set-up (two humans, one robot). Using an interaction set-up based on language-learning problem solving with one robot, a touch table, and two humans, you will exploit a number of social signals derived from sensors of human behavior (cameras, microphones, gaze tracker, etc.) to develop data-driven models of conversational skills that will deepen our understanding of human-robot interactions.
This position is based in Stockholm, Sweden at Furhat Robotics AB.
It's a full-time three-year contract.
PhD enrolment at: Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics / Radboud University, Nijmegen, the Netherlands
