Talk, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI (virtual)
Successfully defended my dissertation. My committee included Dr. Jessie Yang, Dr. Cong Shi, Dr. Joseph Lyons, Dr. Brian Denton, and Dr. Patricia Alves-Oliveira.
Talk, IEEE International Conference on Human-Machine Systems 2025, Abu Dhabi, UAE
Presented the paper accepted at the IEEE ICHMS 2025 held in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The paper was one of three papers nominated for the best student paper.
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).
Talk, 2024 IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interactive Communication (ROMAN 2024), Pasadena, CA
Presented the paper accepted at IEEE ROMAN 2024 held in Pasadena, CA.
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.
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.
Talk, 2024 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI 2024), Boulder, CO
Presented the paper accepted at ACM/IEEE HRI 2024 held in Boulder, CO.
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.
Talk, 2022 IEEE International Conference on Robots and Automation (ICRA), Philadelphia, PA
Presented a poster containing initial results from a study done on Human-Robot Teaming during a workshop held during the IEEE International Conference on Robots and Automation (ICRA 2022).
Talk, 2022 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), Kyoto, Japan
Presented the paper accepted at Robotics and Automation Letters during the IROS conference held in Kyoto, Japan
