Assistive Intelligence for Cooperative Robot inspection survey of infrastructure systems

The project seeks to investigate training and conducting of bridge inspection using drone technologies. The primary focus is on understanding detailed human behavioral markers based on biometric measurements (eye tracking, EEG) to predict and improve system behavior. Student researchers will conduct experiments with volunteer subjects, and perform data analytics on related outcomes.
