About
Mats Blomberg is a leading researcher in speech technology and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on how humans engage in dialogue with robotic systems. His work centers on the development and analysis of multi-party, naturalistic communication between people and embodied conversational agents. A major contribution is his pioneering research with the back-projected robot head Furhat, where he has explored the dynamics of spoken interaction in public and exhibition settings. His studies, including the collection and initial analysis of a dialogue corpus at the Robotville exhibition in London, have provided foundational insights into how both children and adults adapt their speech and behavior when conversing with a socially expressive robot. This work has been instrumental in advancing the design of more natural, engaging, and responsive robotic interfaces. With key papers such as "Children and adults in dialogue with the robot head Furhat" and "Talking with Furhat," Blomberg has helped shape the understanding of multi-party spoken interaction, laying the groundwork for future applications in education, public service, and social robotics.
