Trustworthy Human-AGV Interaction

April 09, 2025

Talk, Lurie Engineering Building, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI

Presented the work done in the previous work for the project sponsored by Boeing on “Trustworthy Human-AGV Interaction” along with Doo Won Han. We presented two aspects: modeling and predction of worker motion inside manufacturing plants (Shreyas Bhat and Shaoze Yang, presented by Shreyas Bhat) and design and evaluation of external Human-Machine Interface (eHMI) (presented by Doo Won Han) for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs).

I-ORCA – Implicitly Nudging Human Trajectories

August 22, 2024

Talk, Honda Research Institute, San Jose, CA, San Jose, CA

Presented work done during the summer internship at Honda Research Institute in San Jose, CA. The work tackled a novel problem: How should we design robot trajectories that implicitly nudge human trajectories in desired directions using their collision avoidance behavior. Toward this, we inverted the well-known Optimal Reciprocal Collision Avoidance (ORCA) algorithm for modeling collision-avoiding agents.

Enabling Effective Human-Robot Interaction via Trust-Driven Decision-Making

April 23, 2024

Talk, Engineering Student Government's 3-minute Thesis Competition, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI

Talk for the 3-minute thesis competition organized by the Engineering Student Government at the University of Michigan. We had to summarize our PhD work in 3-minutes as succinctly as possible.

Effect of Adapting to Human Preferences on Trust in Human-Robot Teaming

October 25, 2023

Talk, AAAI Symposium Series 2023 - Symposium on Agent Teaming in Mixed-Motive Situations, Arlington, VA

Presented some initial results from a project on human-robot teaming at the Symposium on Agent Teaming in Mixed-Motive Situations as a part of the AAAI Fall Symposim Series. The full results were later presented in the IEEE Internation Conference on Human-Robot Interaction.
