معرفی
Christopher Peters is a Professor and Director of the Embodied Social Agents Lab (ESAL) at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. He holds a PhD from Trinity College Dublin (2004) and is affiliated with the Department of Computational Science and Technology (CST) within the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). His work focuses on Socially Interactive Agents and Embodied AI, exploring computational models of visual attention, affect, memory, and theory of mind. Peters leads projects on human-agent interaction, urban spatial contexts, and multimodal systems involving humanoid agents and robots.
Education: PhD in Computer Science, Trinity College Dublin, 2004.
Research Interests: Peters investigates embodied AI through socially interactive agents, emphasizing real-time control systems for gaze, emotion, and group dynamics. His studies span virtual characters, physical robots, and VR applications. Key areas include politeness behaviors in human-robot interactions, crowd navigation algorithms, and urban spatial analysis. Recent work includes the CreativeBot project, leveraging LLMs to enhance child creativity through storytelling robots.
Projects & Grants: Peters is Principal Investigator for EU Horizon 2020 projects CLIPE (€4M), ANIMATAS (€3.9M), and ProsocialLearn. He leads a Swedish Research Council grant (4 MSEK) on VR applications for human-robot collaboration. His projects address societal challenges in urban planning, digital transportation, and educational robotics.
Labs & Teams: Directs ESAL, a lab developing embodied agents for social interaction. Collaborates with industry and academic partners in Europe and globally through projects like METROPOLIS and HUMAINE.
