Human-Centered Robotics Lab

The Human-Centered Robotics Lab is dedicated to cutting-edge research on lifelong collaborative autonomy, with the goal of enabling robots to operate and adapt over long periods of time (e.g., across days and seasons, and eventually over the robots' lifetimes), and to naturally collaborate with humans and adaptively work with other robots as teammates, in order to take over tasks where our current society has shortcomings and where intelligent robots can be a promising solution or a critical component. Our research lies at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, with specific research topics focusing on robot adaptation and human-robot/swarm teaming in dynamic, unstructured, novel, and potentially adversarial environments.
