Research

Research Overview

My research investigates social cognition in Human-Robot Interaction. Specifically, I am exploring the human prediction of robot action using novel psychophysical tasks and consequential/supplementary robot sounds. Additionally, I am researching morphologies and non-verbal robot behaviours and that facilitate human visual perspective taking towards robots.
