Pierre Rouanet

Pierre Rouanet received the Graduate's degree in computer science from the University Bordeaux I, Talence, France, and the Ph.D. degree with the FLOWing Epigenetic Robots and Systems Team, INRIA and Ensta-ParisTech, Talence. His research topics include the study of the role of human–robot interfaces for teaching new words to a robot, the elaboration of new interfaces for efficient and intuitive joint attention and joint intention between the robot and the human (with touchpad, wiimote, and laser pointer), and large-scale user studies with nonspecialist users in order to show that interfaces can considerably increase learning efficiency.
