About

Dr. Tiffany Lee is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a primary focus on how robots can non-verbally communicate their intentions to human collaborators. Her most influential work, "Spatial augmented reality as a method for a mobile robot to communicate intended movement" (2014), has garnered 76 citations and established a foundational method for using projected visual cues to make robot navigation transparent and predictable. This contribution directly addresses the critical challenge of building trust and safety in shared spaces. In her earlier, exploratory paper "Exploration of intention expression for robots" (2012, 15 citations), Dr. Lee proposed a systematic design framework for defining a robot's possible intentions across three distinct levels, laying the theoretical groundwork for her later applied work. Her research is notable for bridging the gap between abstract intention modeling and practical, real-time visual communication. By enabling robots to "show" their next move rather than just executing it, Dr. Lee’s work has significantly advanced the development of more intuitive and socially aware robotic systems, making her a key figure in the field of collaborative robotics.
