Roxana Agrigoroaie

I am a third year PhD student studying social human-robot interaction.

About me

I am a third year PhD student studing Socially Assistive Robotics under the supervision of Prof. Adriana Tapus. I am currently in the Autonomous Systems and Robotics Laboratory, U2IS, at ENSTA-ParisTech, Palaiseau, France.

The title of my thesis is Learning and Behavior Adaptation for a Natural Interaction Designed for the Elderly

I intend to defend my thesis by mid May 2019

My research is mainly focused on understanding how interindividual differences can be used by socially assistive robots for a more natural interaction. I want to develop a user model that takes into consideration the user profile and the user's internal state. Furthermore, I am currently investigating the relationship between cognitive performance and the physiological response.
