Diffusion models can forecast trajectories, which can help with predicting aircraft flight paths to helping robots generate motion plans in complex environments. Check out our latest work on this topic that Dr. Sean Ye presented #IROS2024! Teaser Talk: tiny.cc/nwjrzz

“Trust and Dependence on Robotic Decision Support” has been published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics (T-RO)! Available here: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10726… Bravo to Manisha Natarajan on her strong experimental work to inform how we design for appropriate trust in robotic systems. CORE Robotics Lab

Can stress improve human performance in robot teleoperation? We found that moderate stress enhances effectiveness in critical tasks, but high workload? It takes a toll. Let’s dive into the findings...🧵1/6 Link: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10726…

Robot teleoperation is vital in safety-critical applications, such as space exploration and surgery. Understanding how stress and workload impact performance can drive safer, more efficient systems. 2/n c.f. researchgate.net/publication/35…

24 participants, multiple stress (s) and workload (w) conditions. The result? 70% performed better under moderate stress -- predicted in rat studies by the Yerkes-Dodson Law (YDL). However, performance declined as workload increased. 3/n

The *right* kind of stress can boost performance (to a point) while workload degrades it. Stress actually has 2 components: distress and eustress, which have differential effects. Overall, our results show that AI systems need to dynamically adapt based on all these factors. 4/n

In future work, the CORE Robotics Lab will be developing adaptive robots that adjust to human stress levels and modulate workload to max performance in safety-critical settings. Here's an AAMAS'24 paper showing one way to modulate latent human variables: ifaamas.org/Proceedings/aa… 5/n

CORE Robotics Lab Congrats to Sam Yi Ting, Dr. Erin Botti, and Manisha Natarajan from the CORE Robotics Lab who are tremendous researchers and who helped me pursue this NASA Early Career Funded research. 6/6 Robotics@GT Georgia Tech Computing

Congrats to CORE Lab member Manisha Natarajan for having her abstract titled "Adaptive Agents for Mixed-Initiative Human-AI Collaboration" accepted to AAAI 2025! She will be presenting her work at the poster session in February!🤖🎉
