Current Labs & Groups

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

BeatBots - We are developing robots that can participate in coordinated rhythmic social interactions with people.	Grace - The Grace project is a collaboration among several schools and research labs to design a robot capable of fully performing the AAAI Grand Challenge.
Roboceptionist - In collaboration with the Drama Department, we are developing technology for long-term social interaction.	Social Robots - We are developing robots with personality.
