About
Dr. Rachel Jarman is a leading researcher in human-swarm interaction (HSI), with a focus on designing accessible, scalable platforms to bridge the gap between human operators and autonomous robot collectives. Her most notable contribution is the creation of the Adaptable Platform for Interactive Swarm Robotics (APIS), a pioneering testbed featuring fifty low-cost robots designed to accelerate HSI research. This work, cited 12 times, provides a critical infrastructure for studying how humans can effectively command, monitor, and trust large robot teams in real-time. By prioritizing affordability and adaptability, Jarman’s platform enables researchers to explore complex swarm behaviors without prohibitive hardware costs, democratizing access to cutting-edge robotics experimentation. Her contributions are foundational for developing intuitive interfaces and control strategies that will make swarm robotics viable in search-and-rescue, environmental monitoring, and defense applications. Through APIS, Jarman has established herself as a key architect of the tools and methodologies that will define the future of human-swarm collaboration.
