    "ADAPT Solution": "ADAPT generated an animated avatar and deployed it within a Furhat Robot with an associated application to access the users' interaction with the avatar.",
    "Industry Challenge": "Think about your own digital concierge. In the quest to understand multimodality in the perception of artificial agents, it is necessary to build machines that people trust to engage potential users in the process of assessing this perception.",
    "Results & Benefits": "This research highlighted that perceiving the avatar as intelligent, knowledgeable and trustworthy increases behavioural trust. This research has use cases across game development and entertainment and avatars for health and training.",
