Marine Grandgeorge

About

Marine Grandgeorge is a leading researcher in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), with a focus on understanding how robots implicitly influence human behavior and the potential for long-term human-robot relationships. Her work, which has garnered over 75 citations, explores the critical intersection of robotics, psychology, and ethology. A major contribution is her investigation into how robots, compared to simpler technologies like tablets, affect user behavior, particularly in memory games and educational settings. She was instrumental in the EmotiRob project, which used the Wizard of Oz technique to study emotional interaction with children aged 4-8, aiming to provide comfort to vulnerable and hospitalized children. Grandgeorge has also advanced the field by advocating for standardized evaluation methods in HRI and by applying ethological principles to assess interactions. Her notable work on intercomprehension in human communication provides a foundational model for designing more intuitive and socially aware robots. Through her research, Grandgeorge is shaping the future roles of companion, service, and assistant robots, moving beyond simple task completion toward meaningful, supportive relationships.
