Current Projects [Past Projects]

		BeatBots We are developing robots that can participate in coordinated rhythmic social interactions with people.

		Gamebot

		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.

		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.

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

		Snackbot The Snackbot is a mobile robot designed to deliver food to the offices at CMU while engaging in meaningful social interaction.

		Social Robots We are developing robots with personality.

		Sonic Flashlight^TM We are developing a method of medical visualization that merges real time ultrasound images with direct human vision.

		Telepresence Robot Kit To design, create, and disseminate robotics curricula and technologies that motivate young women and men to actively explore science and technology.

		Temporal Segmentation of Human Motion Temporal segmentation of human motion

		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.
