• 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.

• 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.
