Advancing Human–robot Interaction with Augmented Reality. This research aims to advance emerging human-robot interaction (HRI) methods, creating novel and innovative, human-in-the-loop communication, collaboration, and teaching methods. The project expects to support the creation of new applications for the growing wave of assistive robotic platforms emerging in the market and de-risk the integration of collaborative robotics into industrial production. Expected outcomes include methods and tool ....Advancing Human–robot Interaction with Augmented Reality. This research aims to advance emerging human-robot interaction (HRI) methods, creating novel and innovative, human-in-the-loop communication, collaboration, and teaching methods. The project expects to support the creation of new applications for the growing wave of assistive robotic platforms emerging in the market and de-risk the integration of collaborative robotics into industrial production. Expected outcomes include methods and tools developed to allow smart leveraging of the different capacities of humans and robots. This should provide significant benefits allowing manufacturers to capitalize on the high skill level of Australian workers and bring more complex high-value manufactured products to market.

Human-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle interactions: Making drones talk and listen. This project aims to develop audio technology to enable unmanned aerial vehicles or drones to hear, use speech and sound to communicate with humans, acoustically sense their surroundings and make them less noisy. This project expects to generate new knowledge in acoustic signal processing and its application in drones using innovative approaches, such as use of miniature microphone and loudspeaker arrays, and active noise ....Human-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle interactions: Making drones talk and listen. This project aims to develop audio technology to enable unmanned aerial vehicles or drones to hear, use speech and sound to communicate with humans, acoustically sense their surroundings and make them less noisy. This project expects to generate new knowledge in acoustic signal processing and its application in drones using innovative approaches, such as use of miniature microphone and loudspeaker arrays, and active noise control. Expected outcomes include development of new theories, Intellectual Property, with potential commercial value, and training of next generation researchers. This should provide significant benefits with applications in life saving, search and rescue operations, transportation of goods, and creation of 3D media.Read moreRead less
AI Planning: The Next Generation. This is a project in Artificial Intelligence. It aims at extending and integrating automated planning (and other forms of reasoning) with learning to produce a new generation of planning systems that are robust, safe, scalable, and trusted. These are some of the most significant issues to address to accelerate the adoption of planning systems in industry. Expected outcomes include a pipeline to learn rich symbolic planning models from narrated demonstration vide ....AI Planning: The Next Generation. This is a project in Artificial Intelligence. It aims at extending and integrating automated planning (and other forms of reasoning) with learning to produce a new generation of planning systems that are robust, safe, scalable, and trusted. These are some of the most significant issues to address to accelerate the adoption of planning systems in industry. Expected outcomes include a pipeline to learn rich symbolic planning models from narrated demonstration videos, new ways to represent, learn, and search for generalised policies that are scalable and robust, and approaches to verify and explain generalised policies. The new systems should benefit the aerospace industry by assisting humans in assembling and delivering aerospace products.Read moreRead less
