New salaried PhD postition is available in Lab-STICC at European Center for Virtual Reality, a very well-known lab, specialized in autonomous behavior modeling and human/system interaction.
The aim of this PhD Thesis consists in developing a cognitive architecture able to reproduce the dynamics of the coupling between two humans during a bodily interaction. Various phenomena such as synchrony, imitation and subtle behavioral variations that emerge in human interactions are taken into account. The final goal is the real-time animation of a virtual character during the interaction with a user. The subject of the thesis is: Cognitive Architecture for a bodily coupling between human and virtual creature.
The supervisor of this PhD thesis is Pierre De Loor, and co-supervisors are Elisabetta Bevacqua and Cédric Buche.
The work of this thesis is divided into two main parts. The first part aims to define and implement a well-suited architecture. The second part consists in evaluating the credibility of the autonomous virtual character and the first person experience of users while interacting with it.
