Current Projects [Past Projects]
		CTA Robotics This project adresses the problems of scene interpretation and path planning for mobile robot navigation in natural environment.
		Quality of Life Technology (QoLT) QoLT is a unique partnership between Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh that brings together a cross-disciplinary team of technologists, clinicians, industry partners, end users, and other stakeholders to create revolutionary technologies that will improve and sustain the quality of life for all people. Note: The QoLT Project has been superseded by the QoLT Center.
		RERC on Accessible Public Transportation We are researching and developing methods to empower consumers and service providers in the design and evaluation of accessible transportation equipment, information services, and physical environments.
		Understanding and Modeling Trust in Human-Robot Interactions This collaboration with the UMass Lowell Robotics Lab seeks to develop quantitative metrics to measure a user's trust in a robot as well as a model to estimate the user's level of trust in real time. Using this information, the robot will be able to adjust its interaction accordingly.
