I open sourced my AI Research platform after long time of development

Hello everyone,I've been working on Introlix for some months now. Last week I open sourced it, and I'm excited to share it with more communities. It was a really hard time building it as a student and a solo developer. This project is not finished yet but it's on that stage I can show it to others and ask others for help in developing it.What I built:Introlix is an AI-powered research platform. Think of it as "GitHub Copilot meets Google Docs" for research work.Features:

Innovative Methods in Social Robot Behavior Generation

Social robots are increasingly being designed for interactions that are intuitive and engaging with humans, requiring behaviors that must not only be well-timed and appropriate but also sophisticated and diverse. Current robotics often stands challenged by the need for robots that are not merely reactive but are engaging through behaviors characterized as truly "social"—encompassing two-way interactions and a deep social awareness. This demand necessitates a continuous evolution from basic programmed responses to dynamically generated behaviors that effectively mirror human social cues and contexts.<br/><br/>This Research Topic centers on refining the techniques and methodologies necessary for pushing the boundaries of autonomous multimodal behavior generation in social robots. The primary goal is to evolve robot behaviors from static, pre-programmed sets to dynamic, learning-based models that leverage advances in machine learning, affective computing, and real-time human interaction data. Through employing sophisticated algorithms and new computational approaches, the objective is to foster robots capable of interpreting complex human social signals and responding in a contextually appropriate and socially relevant manner.<br/><br/>To cover the expansive potential of this research, a delineated scope includes the immediate focus on autonomous generation systems and user-centered design principles. We invite contributions dealing with, but not limited to, the following the...
