Welcome to the Social Cognitive Systems Group

Research group at the Faculty of Technology and the Center for Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC) at Bielefeld University.

We investigate how to imbue A.I. systems with the social, cooperative intelligence needed for successful human-technology collaboration and assistance. Our research intersects A.I., Cognitive Science, and Human-Agent/Robot Interaction: We study human cooperative and communicative behavior, develop computational and psychologically inspired models of the underlying cognitive abilities, apply them in socially assistive robots, embodied conversational agents or 3D avatars, and test those in novel human-technology interaction scenarios.
