About
Keryl Cosenzo is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction (HRI) and adaptive automation, with a career dedicated to optimizing soldier-robot teaming for military applications. Her work focuses on how autonomous systems—both unmanned ground and aerial vehicles—can be integrated into command and control environments to reduce operator workload while maintaining mission effectiveness. Cosenzo’s most cited paper, “Adaptive Automation for Human-Robot Teaming in Future Command and Control Systems” (106 citations), established foundational principles for dynamically shifting control between human operators and robots. She further advanced the field through studies on task switching in multi-robot teams (55 citations) and field-tested teleoperation versus shared and traded control. A major contribution is her exploration of how autonomy and communication modalities—such as radio, chat, and tactile feedback—affect team performance and situational awareness. Her 2010 paper on human-robot interaction for military applications (22 citations) bridges laboratory findings with real-world deployment. Cosenzo’s work has directly informed the U.S. Army’s approach to secure mobility and supervisory control, making her a pivotal figure in shaping how soldiers and robots collaborate effectively in high-stakes environments.
