Human-AI-Robot Teaming Technical Group

Dear HART Technical Group members,

Please join our next Member Conversation on Tuesday, April 29, at 9 AM PT/12 PM ET. Please bring/invite a guest, bring your questions, join the conversation, share your ideas, and enjoy the "lightning talk". We have another fascinating discussion topic and lightning talk planned. This month, Dr. Heather Lum will lead us in exploring the study of human-animal teaming as source of insight into the design of human-AI robot teams.

Lightening Talk Title: Human-Animal Teaming. A model for more effective human-AI robot teams

Dr. Heather C. Lum (she/her) is an assistant professor and director of the Virtual Environments & Cognitive Training Research (VECToR) laboratory at Arizona State University. She earned her Ph.D. in applied experimental and human factors psychology from the University of Central Florida in 2011. Her primary research interests focus on human-animal teams as a model for human-robot teaming. Dr. Lum conducted research on human-non-human teaming in the summer of 2023 as part of the U.S. Air Force Research Lab Summer Faculty Fellowship Program and will be returning to the Air Force Academy this summer to continue this work.

In addition to her research pursuits, Dr. Lum is the current president of HF/E Women's Organization for Mentoring and Networking (HFE WOMAN) and former events chair.
