COGRIC PARTICIPANT INFORMATION SHEET Alan C. Schultz Director Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence Naval Research Laboratory Area of Specialization Human-robot interaction, autonomous robots, machine learning, evolutionary computation. Background and Interest My current research projects are focused on human-robot interaction, specifically, the use of computation cognitive models of certain human cognitive skills as reasoning components for intelligent robots. We believe that giving the system cognitive models can enhance the humansystem interface by allowing more common ground in the form of cognitively plausible representations and qualitative reasoning, and giving the system behaviors that are more natural to the human can result in more natural interactions between the human and the intelligent robot. I headed up the Navy Center for applied Research in Artificial Intelligence’s Intelligent Systems Section prior to taking over as the Director in 2005. I was selected to teach at the first IEEE/RAS Summer School on Human-Robot Interaction, have edited several collections in multi-robot systems, and chaired many conferences and workshops in robotics and human-robot interaction. In 1999 and 2000 I chaired the AAAI Mobile Robotics Competition and Exhibition. Our research has spanned from developing a solution for simultaneous localization and mapping, to multi-modal human-robot interfaces to cognitive modeling. Recently, we have developed a computational cognitive model of a human’s ability to perform visual, spatial perspective taking, and have used that model to allow robots to make human-like decisions based on an understanding of the human partner’s perspective of the world.
