Research
My main research interests are in Aerial Robotics, Human Robot Interaction (HRI), AI & Machine Learning, and Swarm Robotics. My current research focuses on:
- Multi-Human Multi-Robot (MHMR) Coordination
- Human-UAV Interaction
- Human-Swarm Interaction (HSI)
Here are some of my research projects below.
Would you want to be cared for by robots when you're older? - BBC Ideas | YouTube
