HRI Overview

In our work on HRI, we are focusing on methodologies and metrics for evaluating interfaces for users of robots.

We are also interested in creating guidelines and toolkits to help robot researchers and developers design user interfaces.

We are currently working in five distinct domains. On the sidebar, you will find descriptions of the work we are doing in each of these domains and links to publications, presentations, and photos.
