About
Corey M. Thibeault is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neuroscience, robotics, and artificial intelligence, with a primary focus on neurorobotics and human-robot interaction (HRI). His work explores how biological principles—particularly neuromodulators like oxytocin—can be modeled to create more intuitive and trustworthy robotic systems. Thibeault’s major contributions include developing frameworks for real-time trust and intent recognition between humans and robots, drawing on human pharmacological fMRI studies that link oxytocin to social bonding and risk acceptance. His 2012 paper on neurorobotic trust and intent recognition, with 9 citations, and his 2011 work modeling oxytocin’s role in HRI, with 5 citations, are foundational in this niche. He has also investigated reward-based learning through emotional speech processing, applying reinforcement principles to virtual neurorobotics. While his citation counts reflect a specialized field, Thibeault’s interdisciplinary approach—bridging affective computing, social neuroscience, and machine learning—positions him as a key contributor to the emerging domain of socially aware robotics. His work holds promise for applications in assistive technology, therapy, and collaborative AI.
