LIREC

Research Areas

LIREC will address a number of key scientific and technical areas, which have previously received limited examination:

• • A multi-aspect (perception, memory, emotions, communication, learning) theory of artificial long-term companions.
• • An extended empirical evaluation undertaken in real social settings to validate the theory developed.
• • Ethological issues in developing these long term companion relationships.
• • The effect of embodiment and migration on these long term companion relationships.
• • The development of a guideline framework for viable long term companion technologies.
