Associated Project

LIREC

LIREC is a European funded (FP7) research project exploring how we live with digital and interactive companions. The project addresses 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.
