This is a joint project with the Computer Vision lab and the MAGICC lab. The goal is to use technology to support Wilderness Search and Rescue operations. In our lab, we are interested in the following topics:
** [[Modeling/predicting lost-person behavior]]
** Interactive probability distribution
** Sliding autonomy in UAV path-planning
** UAV control interface and HRI ideas
** Incident Support Management System for Heterogeneous Agents

This is a joint project with several other departments in the university (Mechanical Engineering, Communication Disorders, Psychology). The goal is to use Assistive Robotics technologies to help therapists treat children with Autism in clinical settings. In our lab, we are interested in the following topics:
** Identify traits of the robots (form, shape, functions, etc.) that affect autistic children's behaviors.
** Design human-robot interfaces that enable the therapists to choreograph ("program") a robot's behaviors.
