About

Cosmin Ioan Faur is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction and artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on how robots and virtual characters can form meaningful, long-term social bonds with humans. His most cited paper, "Artificial companions with personality and social role" (2013, 12 citations), tackles a fundamental challenge in social robotics: while these technologies are increasingly present in daily life, they remain far from sustaining lasting relationships. Faur’s research explores what future users will expect from artificial companions in terms of social roles and personality, addressing the gap between current robotic capabilities and human social needs. His contributions help define how machines can be designed not just as tools, but as socially engaging entities capable of adapting to human expectations. Though his citation count is modest, Faur’s work is notable for its forward-looking perspective on the psychological and social dimensions of human-machine interaction, making it a valuable reference for researchers developing more empathetic and socially intelligent robotic systems.
