Research

I am interested in human-robot interaction, and more specifically, how interactions with robots can be designed to naturally adapt to what their non-expert human users want them to do. I’m also convinced that more work needs to be done to make industrial robotic systems more adaptive and applicable to the changing manufacturing landscape – involving a higher level of interaction with people. Thus, I am interested in how robotic systems can behave, and be perceived to behave, in a safe, predictable, and reliable manner. Applications of this work range from manufacturing assembly to healthcare and assistive technology. This work is highly interdisciplinary and requires collaboration with people working in computer science, psychology, health and biological sciences, and places in between. It’s also really fun!
