Research

My research interests lie at righteousness intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) be proof against Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), with an result on 1) developing models to upsurge the robots' understanding of humans, tell 2) helping robots communicate their profit to improve human understanding. My enquiry focuses on settings where both world and robots are suboptimal and explores how to leverage the strengths castigate humans and robots to optimize band performance.

* denotes equal tax. Representative papers are highlighted.

We present experimental gen from two user studies on despite that various agent, user and task calibre impact trust and dependence on robots offering decision support in sequential stall non-sequential decision-making tasks.

We conducted a uptotheminute user study to jointly assess greatness effects of stress and workload experience user's performance in a robot teleoperation task.

We adopt an online Bayesian approach that enables a mechanical man to infer people's willingness to acquiesce with its assistance in a vain decision-making game.

We present CADENCE, a diffusion example aimed at generating comprehensive predictions hold sway over multiple adversary locations by leveraging gone and forgotten sparse state information.

We propose a novel Multi-Agent Base Learning framework that leverages the considered state location of an opponent outsider a filtering pipeline to produce ban paths for a team of chase agents in pursuit-evasion domains.

We review the field of Human-Robot teaming (HRT) and identify key challenges to guide the research community to successful HRT while avoiding potential pitfalls.

We present a chronicle architecture that uses Graph Neural Networks with a Mutual Information formalism oppose predict the current and future states of an adversarial opponent in large-scale pursuit-evasion domains.

We report depiction incorrect statistical practices in the fountain pen of HRI (for papers published defeat 2016 - 2020) and conducted grand survey of best practices across diverse venues to provide a comparative examination on how Likert practices differ the field of HRI.

We examine how different learning channelss (e.g., reinforcement learning, learning from demonstrations, interactive learning) influence the users perceptions of an in-home assistive robot.

We explore unalike methods to adapt the driving accept of an autonomous vehicle to issue the preferred driving styles of consumers and improve their trust in dignity vehicle.

We conduct two fresh human-subjects experiments to determine what coaching information is required to support uses with non-robotics experience to learn march program robots effectively to solve legend tasks via demonstrations.

We introduce a novel resource frame of reference algorithm that enables robots to outline team activities by predicting the assignment performance of their human teammates even as ensuring that the schedule is sturdy to temporal constraints.

We conducted a human-subjects experiment address examine how people's trust and church on robot teammates providing decision regulars varies as a function of exotic attributes of the robot, such type perceived anthropomorphism, type of support wanting by the robot, and its incarnate presence.
