Tom Williams
twilliams@mines.edu
In this project, students will work with a service non-profit that designs teleoperation interfaces that allow therapists to remotely control interactive robots during social skills training, especially in the context of Autism Therapy. Specifically, the students will use insights collected from therapist interviews to help design new (possibly intelligent) interface options that allow therapists to more easily and effecively perform therapeutic and educational activities using teleoperated robots.
