Robots with Social Intelligence and Empathy (ROSIE) Lab
We build robots that are useful, friendly and fun! We believe that robots can help us automate simple, repetitive tasks while bringing joy to our lives.
We work on 3 main areas:
Building robots that are useful and interact naturally and seamlessly with humans.
Developing smart AI software to help robots understand what humans do, think, feel and mean.
Creating new AI algorithms and implementing models of the human mind based on neuroscience, psychology and developmental science

- How does context influence what humans and robots can perceive?
- What are the cultural similarities and differences in emotions and interactions? How are they learned?
- How does expression and understanding of emotions change human-robot interaction?
- How does interacting with a robot differ from interacting with a smartphone, PC or human?
