Research Focus
In the realm of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), our research focus is centered on creating intuitive and effective interfaces between humans and robots, fostering seamless collaboration and enhancing user experience. We delve into the intricacies of how humans and robots communicate, cooperate, and coexist in various environments. Our endeavors encompass understanding human behavior, preferences, and cognitive processes to design robots that can adapt and respond intelligently. We explore novel methods for natural language processing, gesture recognition, and facial expressions analysis, aiming to enable robots to comprehend and interpret human cues accurately. Furthermore, we investigate the development of socially-aware robots capable of perceiving and responding to human emotions. This involves the incorporation of affective computing and emotional intelligence into robotic systems, enhancing their ability to interact empathetically with users. Operator allocation, scheduling, and experimental design are integral components of our research, aiming to optimize the allocation of tasks between humans and robots.
