Four PhD positions in the new Dramaturgy for Devices project
The Dramaturgy for Devices project aims at designing sustained relationships with robots and other smart technologies. It will explore the value of the performing arts as a motor for innovation and reflection in a high-tech society and demonstrate how collaboration with the performing arts can be a game changer regarding the development of the behavior of and interaction with robots and other technological agents. Robots are increasingly part of our daily lives, yet they still lack many skills needed for social interaction and communication. Addressing this gap requires innovative approaches, tools and methods for developing interactions with robots in a diversity of social contexts.
This project is a collaboration between Utrecht University, TUDelft, VU and UTwente and a great number of other partners.
The project includes four PhD positions. Vacancies can be found in the links:
- Human-Robot Interaction Design for service robots in hospitality settings (at TUDelft)
- Shaping a personalised child-robot learning experience through conversational interaction (at VU)
- Improvising Robots for Careful interaction: shaping HRI design through theatre (at UTwente)
- Performing Arts and Robotics (at UU)
