Welcome to the Social Cognitive Systems Group
Research group at the Faculty of Technology of Bielefeld University and part of the research center Cognitive Interaction Technology CITEC.
We study and develop social intelligence in artificial systems: How can cognitive systems understand and predict other agents? How can they learn to communicate efficiently and adapt dynamically during interaction? How do humans perceive and interact with them? We investigate these questions to develop intelligent cooperative systems, like social robots or 3D virtual humans, that enable novel human-machine interaction scenarios within assisted living, educational, or work contexts.
