Being proposed by Rachel Gardner, with Guy Laban from AFAR lab.
Client: Oscar Klock, Furhat Robotics


You may have seen bars in Cambridge that have robot greeeters at the door. The Cambridge Festival is getting behind! Your task is to create a more sophisticated ambassador for science, that can be used in the festival and open days, engaging visitors in the joys of computer science. You'll be using a humanoid robot from the AFAR lab as a starting point.
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.
