About
Marine Chamoux is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction (HRI), specializing in how robots can engage naturally and intelligently with humans in spontaneous, real-world settings. Her work centers on multi-modal communication—integrating gaze, proxemics, and vocal cues—to make robots more socially adept. Chamoux’s most influential contribution is the **UE-HRI dataset** (95 citations), a pioneering resource capturing spontaneous conversations between humans and the robot Pepper, which has become a benchmark for studying user engagement. She has also advanced understanding of how robot gaze and proxemics coordinate conversational roles in group interactions (11 citations) and explored how proactive, creative robot behavior can enhance interaction quality (9 citations). Her research on detecting gaze and filled pauses (9 citations) addresses a critical bottleneck in smooth human-robot dialogue, while her comparative study of self-reported attitudes versus actual behavior (8 citations) challenges assumptions in HRI methodology. Chamoux’s work is notable for its focus on ecological validity—moving beyond lab-controlled experiments to messy, dynamic interactions—and for providing open-access tools that empower the broader research community. Her findings have direct implications for deploying social robots in education, healthcare, and public spaces, where nuanced, adaptive behavior is essential.
