معرفی
Henny Admoni is an Associate Professor at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University. She leads the Human And Robot Partners (HARP) Lab and is currently a Digital Futures Scholar in Residence at KTH Royal Institute of Technology through August 2025. Her research focuses on human-robot interaction, assistive robotics, and modeling human behavior to develop intelligent systems that collaborate seamlessly with humans.
- PhD in Computer Science, Yale University
- MS in Computer Science, Yale University
- BA/MA joint degree in Computer Science, Wesleyan University
Her work integrates methodologies from robotics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, computer perception, and cognitive science, with applications in physical support for daily living, driving assistance, social support networks, and collaborative tasks like household cleanup. She develops algorithms for proactive, fluent, and interpretable robot behavior, leveraging human mental state modeling and eye-gaze analysis.
Recent publications include studies on driver situational awareness, robot self-assessment, and human-AI teaming, primarily in venues like IROS, HRI, CoRL, and RSS. Her research has evolved from eye-gaze-based intent prediction to proactive robot learning and strategic human-AI collaboration.
Scientific recognition includes:
- NSF CAREER grant
- Okawa Research Grant
- A. Nico Habermann Career Development Professorship
Her research is funded by NSF, ONR, Paralyzed Veterans of America Foundation, Google, Meta, and Sony AI. She emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration and student engagement through weekly lab meetings and structured research opportunities. The HARP Lab explores human-robot shared manipulation, social support AI, and driver assistance systems, with a focus on human psychology and agency in robotic interactions.
