Nik Gaffney talks about FoAM's views on animism & materialism in robotic design, in a workshop hosted by LIREC partner SICS.

LIREC aims to establish a multi-faceted theory of artificial long-term companions (including memory, emotions, cognition, communication, learning, etc.), embody this theory in robust and innovative technology and experimentally verify both the theory and technology in real social environments.
