About
Robert Morris is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-computer interaction, decision support systems, and remote sensing for planetary exploration. His research focuses on designing intelligent interfaces that help humans manage complex, high-stakes environments. A key contribution is his work on attention allocation systems for command and control, where he developed a novel technique using the Choquet integral to help commanders prioritize actions and dynamically focus attention amidst uncertain, rapidly changing information. This work, published in 2012, provides a formal framework for managing critical events. Earlier, Morris contributed to the "Geologist's Field Assistant" project, developing image and spectral analysis algorithms to empower robotic and human explorers to better interpret their surroundings during remote science missions. This work, from 2002, laid groundwork for autonomous scientific analysis in space exploration. While his most-cited papers each hold 3 citations, their value lies in pioneering approaches to two distinct but challenging problems: supporting human decision-making under pressure and enabling autonomous scientific discovery in remote environments.
