Karen Leung wins NSF CAREER Award to build autonomous systems with enhanced human-like social skills

Professor Karen Leung has received a prestigious National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Award for research that could improve how autonomous systems interact safely with humans. The award builds upon prior work by the lab, including using control barrier functions to enhance safety of robot planning algorithms, interaction-aware planning, and learning responsibility allocations in multi-agent interactions.

To make this doubly exciting, fellow A&A colleague Professor Ed Habtour also received an NSF CAREER Award, also from the same program! Thank you DCSD!
