Project information
In this project, we will develop algorithms to control the behavior of intelligent tutors in virtual environments, including speech synthesis, facial expressions and body movements. The project is a collaboration between Tilburg University and two industry partners.
Facing the needs of our rapidly changing society and the strong technological focus of our next generation of learners, it is clear that the current educational system is outdated and in need of a substantial change. The use of artificial intelligence in combination with virtual and mixed reality environments can provide solutions to this challenge. In these virtual learning environments, intelligent embodied virtual tutors will teach children about a variety of topics.
This PhD position will be jointly supervised by dr. Marie Postma, and dr. Merel Jung in the Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence Department at Tilburg University.
