Robotics and Human-Robot Interaction
Robotics research at the Tufts CS Department investigates fundamental problems at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence and the psychology of human-robot interaction. How can robots learn about the world by interacting with humans? How can robots “think” ethically when faced with complicated decisions? What design factors contribute to effective human-robot collaboration and trust?
Recent focus areas include:
- Cognitive architectures for complex robots
- Robot ethics
- Cognitive and developmental robotics
- Service robotics
- Language grounding and learning
- Augmented reality for human-robot interaction
- Human-Robot Teaming
- Interactive Task Learning
- One-Shot Learning
- Assistive Human-Robot Interaction
- Human-in-the-Loop Robot Learning
- Public space robotics
- Multi-party human-robot interaction
Research Laboratories:
- The Human-Robot Interaction Laboratory
- The Assistive Agent Behavior and Learning Laboratory
- The Multimodal Learning, Interaction, and Perception Laboratory
