Imagine a virtual science ambassador at the Cambridge Festival and department open days that engages visitors in lively discussions about science and their experiences. This project will develop an embodied virtual agent based on the new LEXI framework for speech-based interaction. The system should allow customisation, so that users of all technical abilities can create and deploy their own AI agents able to interact naturally in spoken conversation in a variety of social settings. In the setting of the Cambridge Festival, the agent would be able to gather feedback, as well as enhancing visitor engagement.

Imagine a robot science ambassador at the Cambridge Festival that engages visitors in lively discussions about science and their experiences. This project will develop an embodied agent based on the world's most advanced social robot from Furhat Robotics, and using the LEXI framework for speech-based interaction. The system should allow customisation, so that users of all technical abilities can create and deploy their own AI agents able to interact naturally in spoken conversation in a variety of social settings. In the setting of the Cambridge Festival, the humanoid robot would be able to gather feedback, as well as enhancing visitor engagement.
