Academic Achievements
- IEEE Fellow, ACM Fellow, AAAS Fellow. Author of multiple books such as 'Learn AI and Human-Robot Interaction through Asimov's I, Robot Stories' (2019), 'Robotics Through Science Fiction' (MIT Press Fall 2018), 'Disaster Robotics' (MIT Press 2014), and contributor to the 2012 Defense Science Board Study: The Role of Autonomy in DoD Systems.
Research Experience
- She is a Professor Emeritus of Computer Science and Engineering (former Raytheon Professor) at Texas A&M University, a courtesy Professor at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, and the Disaster Thrust Lead for the NSF AI Institute for Societal Decision Making (AI-SDM). She leads the Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue (CRASAR) and has participated in 30 disasters or incidents and over 35 exercises, gathering data spanning urban search and rescue, structural inspection, hurricanes, flooding, mudslides, mine disasters, radiological events, and wilderness search and rescue.
Education
- Information not provided
Background
- Her primary research is in artificial intelligence for mobile robots as applied to disaster robotics. As her analyses have shown that 50% of the terminal failures in disaster robotics are due to human error, a significant portion of her work is in human-robot interaction. Her research uses a field methodology, working with responders and agency stakeholders to determine gaps that lead to the formulation of applied and fundamental research thrusts.
Miscellany
- Blogs: CRASAR Blog on disaster robotics, Blog on real science in science fiction robots.
