The perception of social robots as artificial primates: Exploring hints from AI
Our research group is seeking a motivated Master’s student to join our ongoing projects at the intersection of primatology, psychology, and artificial intelligence. Building on our recent
work (Llorente, Guitton & Castelain, 2025), this project aims to investigate how concepts from
primatology can be applied to the study and design of social robots.
The selected student will develop an original thesis project focusing specifically on how large language models (LLMs) and generative AI systems perceive and represent the association between primatology and social robotics.
