Presentation: Bridging Design and Perception: Novel Tools and Technologies for Creating Effective Human-Robot Interactions
Abstract:
Understanding human perception of robots is crucial for effective human-robot interaction, particularly as robots move into more collaborative roles with humans. Gaining an understanding of the multitude of factors that affect how a human perceives a robot requires a multifaceted approach. One method of investigating this perception involves evaluating novel methods for human-robot teaming. This talk will present the evaluation of an Augmented Reality interface for human-robot teaming, discussing its implications for effective interactions. Another method of approaching this topic concerns the effects of a robot’s design on how it is perceived. This talk also presents a novel interface for participatory robot design, aiming to provide researchers with tools and data for better understanding what aspects of their robot design influence how it is perceived.

Biography:

Benjamin Dossett

  • University of Denver MS Student in Computer Science
  • IEEE Student Member
Mr. Benjamin Dossett is currently pursuing a master’s in computer science at the University of Denver. Mr Dosset holds a BS in Computer Science from the University of Denver. Mr Dosset’s research investigates how humans perceive robots, approaching the topic using a multidisciplinary approach. One aspect of Ben’s research involves the creation of a novel robot design tool to understand the effects of robot design. The second aspect investigates the creation of effective interfaces for human-robot teaming. In conducting his graduate student research. Additionally, Ben has led development and experimentation efforts on several collaborative research projects, resulting in multiple publications at venues such as IEEE RO-MAN, ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction, and ACM/IEEE Human-Robot Interaction.
