- Research incorporated memory in a virtual robotic tutor, investigating its effect on pedagogical goals achievement and perceived likeability and empathy of the tutor. Human memory is highly complex and how artificial agents should emulate its processes is unclear. This work influenced the field of agent design demonstrating that one cannot blindly add in human-like features, such as memory that improves task performance without considering the potential detrimental effects to the perceived empathy and likeability. It was cited by Feine et al.’s Taxonomy of Social Cues for Conversational Agents (2019) and impacted wider work across mobile devices (Papoutsi, 2017).
