RESEARCH PROJECTS

This research provides a framework for abstracting human skills so as to facilitate analysis of human control, to allow machines to learn from human partners in human-machine cooperation, and to transfer skill from human to human through learning human machine interfaces.

We are developing the methodologies for developing and supporting distributed, wearable robot systems which can be used as mobile devices for communication and interaction.

The system can recognize the driver's identity based on the learning of steering behaviors, which can be applied to develop intelligent car key due to the differences of driving behaviors among different drivers.

A smart wheelchair with an human friendly interface for high-level control, to significantly enhance the usability and functionality of traditional electric wheelchairs.

We are developing techniques to model and analyze human real-time actions based on learning by demonstration.
