Dr. Julie A. Adams
Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Computer Engineering Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science Department
Human-Machine Teaming Laboratory Ph.D., Computer and Information Sciences, University of Pennsylvania, 1995
Research goals: My research focuses on the development of complex man-machine systems, particularly for human and robotic teams. Many human-robotic interfaces (HRI) are developed from an engineering perspective with little actual user feedback. The users of such systems are typically presented with data rather than useful information. Previous results from Human Factors, Human-Computer Interaction, and complex man-machine system development need to be applied to human-robotic interface development. My primary work focuses on HRI and distributed artificially intelligent algorithms for multiple robotic systems. Projects: The Human-Machine Teaming laboratory pursues projects related to 1) Human-robotic interaction and 2) multiple robot coordination and cooperation. Post Doctoral Position: Immediate opening for a post-doctoral position at Vanderbilt University's Human-Machine Teaming Laboratory in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Vanderbilt University's Human-Machine Teaming Laboratory is currently seeking applicants for a single post-doctoral position in the area of human-robotic interaction with large numbers of robots for mass casualty event response. The overall research objective is to advance the state-of-the art for human-robotic interaction (HRI) with large numbers of ground and aerial robots. The goal is to develop visualization and interaction techniques that provide a single, scalable interface incorporating integrated and easily understood information, thus permitting supervision of large, mixed-type robotic systems. Our research has focused on developing a system of interfaces to support (a) the integration of multiple robot systems into the event response and (b) support the response personnel command hierarchy's ability to conduct the response. This is part of a highly visible research project and the successful applicant will be expected to collaborate the research effort with graduate and undergraduate students. Please see the position announcement for details. Contact Information359
