Sciences at the University of Exeter, you will undertake research into
mathematical modelling and analysis of human social interactions. This is an
exciting opportunity to contribute to a joint venture between movement scientists
from Montpellier 1 University in France, computer science experts from the DFKI
centre (Germany), mathematicians from the University of Exeter and Bristol
(UK), roboticists from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (CH), as
well as clinicians, psychologists and psychiatrists from the Academic Hospital
of Montpellier (CHRU, FR). This position is funded by European Union FP7
research project<span class=""> </span><strong>AlterEgo:
Enhancing social interactions using information technology</strong>. The
objective of AlterEgo is the creation of an interactive cognitive architecture
(ICA), implementable in various artificial agents, allowing a continuous
interaction with socially deficient humans. The final aim of the proposal is to
produce a new robotic-based clinical method able to enhance social interaction
of patients suffering from social disorders.</span></p>
