By replicating and extending our proven approach nationwide, we provide situational awareness for emergency management.

Project Description: Team Science refers to the research approach in which an interdisciplinary team works toward scientific discoveries that transcend any one discipline. Having a diversity of disciplinary backgrounds enhances the team’s overall knowledge and skill set, increasing its ability to address complex research questions. A challenge of this approach can be achieving effective collaboration given team members’ differing research methods and communication styles.

Project Description: Robot Encounters examines how humans perceive their own safety when in the presence of robots. Researchers designed a study with two conditions: robots that are goal directed (searching for something) and robots simply roaming. Further, the study considers humans who are alone and who are with another person when encountering robots. The results of this work currently are in press, with a follow-up study concerning robot perceived intelligence in process.
