Incredible to be quoted in the article "Sound familiar? Matching voices boost trust in self-driving cars" about our upcoming paper, led by @CarolQiaoning @Jessie_YangXi @umsi @UMRobotics @BlackInRobotics @UMichiganNews @HFES @umichioe @ASU news.umich.edu/sound-familiar…
At #roman2025 yesterday and presented my paper! dx.doi.org/10.7302/26058 We found an interesting preference pattern in human security agent interaction: people prefer humans when citizens initiate interactions, but prefer robots when security initiate them.

(1/4) The MAVRIC group will be presenting several papers at the IEEE ROMAN 2025 conference. Links to the papers are below. Masterson, A., and Robert, L. P. (2025). Rebranding Sex Robots: Realbotix's Corporate Metamorphosis, RO-MAN 2025 lnkd.in/gkhijmNn.
New free course: ROB 201, Calculus for the Modern Engineer! Students not only learn what calculus is, but also why it matters and how to use it in solving real-world problems. Lectures, textbook, and homework all available. Check it out on GitHub: github.com/michiganroboti…
Congratulations to Xin Ye for passing her Phd field preliminary exams. @umsi @Jessie_YangXi @mavrojean
I'm excited to be part of this Short Wave podcast on neurotic robots. "This missing trait could make robots more 'human' with Nell Greenfieldboyce. @NPR @NPRShortWave @umsi @UMRobotics @UMichResearch @HRI_Conference @BlackInRobotics @ieeeras npr.org/transcripts/nx…
“The vision for this project is to be able to authenticate artwork while it’s being produced and not just in the outcome,” said @p_alvesoliveira, the director of Robot Studio at @UMengineering. Read the entire @MLive article: mlive.com/news/2025/08/a…
Tense? This robot is. This tensegrity robot tenses cables at the end of bars to move around. This latest design, using quasi-direct drive actuators, can adjust to carry payloads, duck under obstacles, or even get them out of the way. Read more: robotics.umich.edu/news/2025/adva…
This is a great book about Design for Human-Robot Interaction 🔥 I recommend it to anyone who wants to start conducting research in this area. ..it's free, open-access: lnkd.in/duQq3Nkr and I have a Chapter there 🙃
I'm excited to be part of this NPR story on neurotic robots. "Neurotic robots can be more relatable than extroverted bots, study finds" by Nell Greenfieldboyce @umsi @UMRobotics @BlackInRobotics @HRI_Conference @ieeeroman @ieeeras @UMichResearch npr.org/2025/07/25/nx-…
A 40-mile flight corridor for testing drones and electric aircraft will connect U-M's Mcity to Michigan Central’s innovation district in Detroit. The research skyway will be the centerpiece of M-air, a public-private partnership for advanced air mobility. myumi.ch/NrymD
