Abstract
In this work, we propose a novel Personalised Large Language Model (PLLM) agent, designed to advance the integration and adaptation of large language models within the field of human–robot interaction and human–computer interaction. While research in this field has primarily focused on the technical deployment of LLMs, critical academic challenges persist regarding their ability to adapt dynamically to user-specific contexts and evolving environments. To address this fundamental gap, we present a methodology for personalising LLMs using domain-specific data and tests using the NeuroSense EEG dataset. By enabling the personalised data interpretation, our approach promotes conventional implementation strategies, contributing to ongoing research on AI adaptability and user-centric application. Furthermore, this study engages with the broader ethical dimensions of PLLM, critically discussing issues of generalisability and data privacy concerns in AI research. Our findings demonstrate the usability of using the PLLM in a human–robot interaction scenario in real-world settings, highlighting its applicability across diverse domains, including healthcare, education, and assistive technologies. We believe the proposed system represents a significant step towards AI adaptability and personalisation, offering substantial benefits across a range of fields.
