  • Motivation and social interaction are two core concepts in psychology that are seldom considered together in HCI. I will describe interdisciplinary research that aims to design tailored human-computer interactions that either motivate users to interact with others, or support interactions that aim to motivate users (e.g., motivational technologies for sports and physical activity). I will explain the individual differences we have observed and how these individual differences may help researchers to better understand users and to provide them with tailored, motivational, and social interactions.

Scientific Theme 5 (Data and Models) of GDR Robotics is organizing a workshop on “Foundation Models and Robotics” on Tuesday, November 4, 2025 at LIRIS – Centrale Lyon (Écully). Foundation models (LLMs, multimodality: text, image, sound, action…) open promising perspectives in robotics for developing versatile, multi-task and multi-robot models. This workshop aims to bring together the scientific community to discuss advances, challenges, and perspectives related to their adaptation and use in robotics.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already shaping our lives: in our phones, our web searches, hiring decisions, and even healthcare. But did you know these machines can also… discriminate? Why can an AI reproduce sexist, racist, or class-based stereotypes? What happens when an algorithm, supposedly neutral, makes unfair decisions? And above all: what can we, as citizens, do to fix it? Free admission — in-person only
