About

Neshat Elhami Fard is a researcher at the intersection of autonomous systems, human-robot interaction, and public policy. Her work addresses both the technical and societal dimensions of intelligent control, with a focus on ensuring that autonomous technologies are safe, ethical, and effectively governed. In her highly cited 2023 survey, she systematically examined public policy challenges, regulations, and ethical considerations for autonomous systems, providing a critical framework for oversight as these technologies become more pervasive. This work has already garnered 20 citations, reflecting its importance in guiding responsible innovation. Earlier, Fard demonstrated her technical ingenuity with a 2019 study introducing a smart glove and hand-gesture-based control interface for multi-rotor aerial vehicles. By combining image processing for gesture recognition with a wearable glove for command input, she created an adaptable human-robot interface that allows operators to issue commands like takeoff intuitively. This hands-on contribution to human-computer interaction showcases her ability to bridge practical engineering with user-centered design. Through her dual focus on policy and technical innovation, Fard is helping to shape a future where autonomous systems are both capable and accountable.
