Research making human-robot interactions more beneficial

Researchers at the ASU Human Machine Symbiosis Lab are working to make interactions between people and the machines they create more efficient and beneficial for both parties.

“I started the lab around three years ago and ever since then, we have been developing virtual reality based solutions for medical environments,” said Kanav Kahol, founder of the lab and an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics.

“What our lab is doing, which is very unique, is working closely with the clinical people so we can develop technology around their needs,” he said. “We are working with our final users to develop technology that we know will be useful.”
