Human Security Robot Interaction

Security robots are becoming vital for protecting people and property. These robots address modern security problems effectively and save costs by reducing human exposure to dangers. They're changing the security industry by handling tasks like patrolling and surveillance.

My research in this area explores highly significant questions related to human interactions with security robots. This research hopes to promote safe and community-supported sustainable interactions with these robots. As security robots become increasingly central to our society it seems timely and vital to understand how to promote these interactions with humans.
