Research
Our group explores the foundations of human-robot interaction. Our goal is to enable robots to seamlessly and intelligently interact with human partners. We seek out problems inspired by the challenges of everyday users — particularly for people who could benefit from assistance — as well as problems motivated by future applications — such as personal robots or robots in the home. Our projects typically involve three steps:
- Formalizing the problem within a larger context
- Finding a creative and analytical solution
- Testing our approach with real people and robots
