About
Dr. Margaret Wong is a leading researcher in human-robot teaming (HRT), with a focus on transparency, trust, and situation awareness in high-stakes environments like Urban Search and Rescue (USAR). Her most-cited work (2022, 32 citations) demonstrates how explanations from robot teammates can significantly enhance human trust and situational awareness during ambiguous, hazardous missions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Wong pioneered remote research methods for Human–AI–Robot Teaming (HART), identifying key challenges and adaptations that have shaped the field’s methodological toolkit (2021, 16 citations). She has also developed innovative virtual synthetic testbeds, including a trailblazing platform in Roblox (2022, 7 citations), to enable scalable, realistic studies of cognitive work in safety-critical domains. Her iterative design process for remote testbeds (2021, 4 citations) further advances the accessibility and fidelity of HRT research. Dr. Wong’s contributions are foundational to building trustworthy, transparent human-robot partnerships, with direct implications for future USAR missions and beyond.
