SUMMARY:IAA & CS Seminar Series: Alyssa Pierson\, Boston University – “Designing Cooperative and Socially-Aware Autonomy”
DESCRIPTION:Locationhttp://bit.ly/Alyssa-PiersonAbstractRobots will transform our everyday lives\, from home service and personal mobility\, to large-scale warehouse management and agriculture monitoring. Across these applications\, robots need to interact with humans and other robots in complex\, dynamic environments. Understanding how robots interact allows us to design safer and more robust systems. This talk presents an overview on how we can integrate underlying cooperation and interaction models into the design of the robot teams. We use tools from behavioral decision theory to design interaction models\, combined with game theory and control theory to develop distributed control strategies with provable performance guarantees. This talk focuses on applications in autonomous driving\, where better understanding of human intent improves safety\, as well as exploring recent results in designing UVC-equipped mobile robots for human-centric environments.BioAlyssa Pierson is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Boston University. Her research interests include trustand cooperation in multi-agent systems\, distributed robotics control\, and socially-compliant autonomous system design. Shefocuses on designing robotic systems that interact with humans and other robots in complex\, dynamic environments.Prior to joining BU\, Professor Pierson was a research scientist with the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory(CSAIL) at MIT. She received her PhD degree from Boston University in 2017 and BS in Engineering from Harvey Mudd College.During her PhD\, she was awarded the Clare Booth Luce Fellowship and was a Best Paper Finalist at the 2016 InternationalConference on Robotics and Automation.HostsIAA and CSVideoWatch seminar video.
