معرفی
Dana Kulic is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering at Monash University. She is also a Global Innovation Research Visiting Professor at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology and the August-Wilhelm Scheer Visiting Professor at the Technical University of Munich. Her research focuses on developing autonomous systems for human-robot interaction (HRI), emphasizing safety, continuous learning from demonstrations, and rehabilitation technology. She co-founded the Adaptive Systems Lab at the University of Waterloo and co-led the NSERC Canadian Robotics Network.
Her work addresses challenges in collaborative robotics, including safety quantification, non-expert learning, and rehabilitation applications. Projects include 'Natural Interaction Strategies for Long-Term Robot Use for Elderly Care' and 'Intelligent Robotics for Pharmaceutical Formulation Development.'
Key research interests include human motion analysis, robot learning, and HRI. Recent studies explore auditory assistance for gait modification, contingent autonomy in uncertain environments, and multimodal communication for multi-robot systems. Her contributions align with UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in healthcare and innovation.
Dr. Kulic has led multiple industry-collaborative grants, such as strategic projects in collaborative assembly and rehabilitation automation. She actively participates in interdisciplinary initiatives, including public engagement through events like 'Living with Robots' and media contributions on robotic limitations.
Her laboratories, including the Waterloo Robohub, focus on advancing robotic capabilities through experimental methodologies and ethical frameworks. Current projects emphasize adaptive systems, shared autonomy, and robotic applications in healthcare and industrial settings.
