Research in human-robot interaction by Assistant Professor Dan Szafir and his IRON Lab researchers, Michael Walker, Jennifer Lee and Hooman Hedayati, was published in this month's IEEE Spectrum.
Hooman Hedayati, a computer science PhD student in the ATLAS Institute鈥檚 IRON Lab, was awarded an Outstanding Research Award by 抖阴旅行射 Boulder鈥檚 Department of Computer Science.
ATLAS IRON Lab researchers were awarded best paper and runner-up best paper at the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction for developing technologies that use augmented reality to enhance drone operation.
Researchers working on robots launched into space don鈥檛 often connect with those working on terrestrial robots, where the stakes are lower and the pace of innovation is faster.
Dan Szafir, director of the ATLAS IRON Lab, is helping realize a future in which robots read body language, manage ambiguity, anticipate our needs and have that human touch.
Assistant Professor Dan Szafir named in Forbes magazine鈥檚 2017 鈥�30 Under 30: Science鈥� list for pioneering work on improving human-robot communication by recognizing body language.
