M. A. Neerincx

Country: Netherlands
Mark Neerincx is principal scientist Perceptual & Cognitive Systems at TNO (Netherlands organisation of applied research), and full professor Human-Centered Computing at the Delft University of Technology. Recent research projects focus on the socio-cognitive engineering of artificial, virtual or physical, agents (ePartners) that show social, cognitive and affective behaviours to enhance performance, resilience, health and/or wellbeing. This research comprises theoretical and empirical driven design and evaluation activities in diverse domains, such as health, defense and safety. Important results are (1) cognition and emotion models for performance and health support, (2) models of human-robot partnership for attuning assistance to the individual user and momentary usage context, (3) prototypes of social robots for self-efficacy and behavioral change, (4) cognitive engineering methods and tools, and (5) a diverse set of “best practices” and design patterns for human-robot interaction and teamwork.
