I work at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Human-AI Teaming, designing embodied AI systems that extend and augment human capabilities. My work focuses on robots performing in complex environments that were not possible before, enabling new levels of collaboration and autonomy. I am driven by the challenge and opportunity of achieving societal impact through robotics, tackling significant real world problems, and ultimately creating systems that enhance human productivity and decision-making in challenging environments. At CU, I lead the Human Interaction and RObotics group [HIRO]. Our research is both human-inspired and human-centered. We believe that to build truly capable and general-purpose robots, we must look at people not just as users, but as models of intelligence. Two pillars of human cognition guide our work: Embodied Intelligence, i.e. our ability to learn through embodied interaction with the physical world, and Social Intelligence, i.e. our capacity for social intelligence in complex, cooperative settings.
