01
Human Capability and Skill in Robotic Assistance
How can robots help people accomplish tasks while preserving and potentially developing human capability and skill over time?
H-CORD Lab · Human-Centered Robotics
Research
H-CORD Lab focuses on Human-Centered Robotics, investigating how increasing robot capability, autonomy, and social presence reshape human capability, agency, and roles, and how robotic systems should be designed to support effective, sustainable, and human-compatible collaboration.
02
Human Oversight and Agency in Autonomous Robots
As robot autonomy increases, how can people retain effective understanding, intervention, control, and meaningful agency?
03
Human Role in Multi-party and Multi-stakeholder Robotic Systems
How should robots understand situations and act in real social and work environments involving multiple people with different roles, relationships, rights, and needs?
