Research interests

I am interested in human-robot social interaction. In particular, I am interested in physical coordination in social situations, such as walking with a person or navigating a crowded area in a socially acceptable manner.

Research interest keywords

design, human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction, and mobile robots

Current Labs & Groups [Past labs]

Human-Robot Interaction Group - We are interested in many aspects of human-robot interaction related to how humans and robots can work safely and effectively together.

Reliable Autonomous Systems Lab - We are developing reliable, highly autonomous systems (especially mobile robots) that operate in rich, uncertain environments.

Current Projects [Past projects]

Roboceptionist - In collaboration with the Drama Department, we are developing technology for long-term social interaction.
