Let’s introduce Justin Botha, our newest team member. Justin is a PhD researcher at QUT (Queensland University of Technology), actively involved in the Human-Robot-Interaction program and the Interactive (and Collaborative) Robot Programming using Language project.
Programming robots to carry out desired tasks is difficult and time-consuming. This PhD project focuses on collaborative and instructional dialogue agents to help human operators program robot tasks. We are pleased to welcome Justin to the team and anticipate his valuable contributions. Join us in welcoming Justin aboard!
Welcome Justin!
