Research

Our research covers persistent memory, personal agents, embodied interfaces and the organization of digital cultural records.

Persistent memory

Research direction

Retention, retrieval, revision and deletion

We study how to retain, retrieve, update and delete information from conversations and tasks, including source records, temporal relationships and conflicting information.

Software practice: Agent-Me architecture

AI Twins & personalization

Research & software practice

Managing identity, preferences and knowledge over time

We study continued use of personal agents built on knowledge, preferences and decision records. Agent-Me is the software implementation for this work. An AI Twin is managed by its user, not a digital copy or a replacement for their judgment.

Embodied interfaces

Exploratory research

Wearable sensing and robotic interaction

We study wearable sensing, human-machine interfaces and robotic interaction. This work is exploratory; no hardware has been released and robotic capabilities remain to be validated.

Digital cultural memory

Experimental R&D

Sources, dates and context in cultural records

Through CyberMemoir, we organize cultural records while keeping original sources, temporal clues and interpretations distinct, with gaps and review status recorded.

Areas of focus in memory systems

Four parts of a memory system: receive information, retain it, update relationships and use it in later tasks.

  1. Interaction

    Identify the question, the information available with permission and what needs checking.

  2. Memory

    Retain information relevant to the task, together with its source and date.

  3. Structure

    Connect related information, handle conflicts and support retrieval, revision and deletion.

  4. Collaboration

    Use retained information in later tasks, with user approval for actions that require permission.
