Worked Examples and Sub-goal Labeling: Impacts on Learning

Lab:

Problem Solving and Educational Technology (PSET)

Procedural instructions and worked examples have been shown to be effective learning aids in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning materials. Procedural instructions are texts that describe a general method to reach a goal, while worked examples demonstrate how to apply this method to a specific instance. Research supporting the use of advanced organizers predicts that if learners see the worked example first, they can develop a basis for the problem-solving procedure.

The Benefits of Robot Deception

Lab:

Mobile Robot Laboratory

Deception is a common behavior not only in humans but also in animals. We focus on deceptive behavior in robotics because the appropriate use of deception is beneficial in several domains ranging from the military to a more everyday context. In this project, we proposed a taxonomy of robot deception and developed novel algorithms for robots' deceptive behaviors inspired by biological findings. In more recent work, we are developing computational models and conducting human-subject studies for a robot's other-oriented deception in the context of Human-Robot Interactions (HRI).
