CS Colloquium - Chien-Ming Huang (Johns Hopkins University) - Becoming Teammates: Designing Assistive, Collaborative Machines

Speaker: Chien-Ming Huang , Johns Hopkins University

Talk Title: Becoming Teammates: Designing Assistive, Collaborative Machines

Abstract: The growing power in computing and AI promises a near-term future of human-machine teamwork. In this talk, I will present my research group’s efforts in understanding the complex dynamics of human-machine interaction and designing intelligent machines aimed to assist and collaborate with people. I will focus on 1) tools for onboarding machine teammates and authoring machine assistance, 2) methods for detecting, and broadly managing, errors in collaboration, and 3) building blocks of knowledge needed to enable ad hoc human-machine teamwork. I will also highlight our recent work on designing assistive, collaborative machines to support older adults aging in place.
