The PhD training programme "SOCRATES" (SOcial Cognitive Robotic Agents in The European Society) is focused on increasing interaction quality of service robots in the caregiving domain. Intelligent service robots that care for the elderly have to understand not only the spoken word, but also recognise other kinds of human communication, like gestures and emotions. The goal of SOCRATES is to use these additional communication channels to improve the quality of interaction between robots and elderly people.
