The lab is closing on the 1st of March 2026 therefore limited projects are available.
This project is grounded in the pedagogical theory of learning by teaching, where learners enhance their own knowledge by teaching others. We are exploring the potential of using virtual agents or robots as interactive learning companions by having students teach pronunciation to them. This project offers a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI speech recognition and generation techniques. You will develop such a learning system with a Virtual Agent or Social Robot as a Web/Desktop/Tablet application, gaining hands-on experience in these fields.
We will have weekly meetings to address questions, discuss progress, and brainstorm future ideas. We aim to summarize the results in a scientific report.
We are looking for students with any of the following interests: Social Robots, Human-Computer Interaction. Relevant IT skills include Python and Web Development. Basic knowledge of iOS development or ROS is a plus. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact me. Since the lab is closing, this project will be hosted in another lab.
