Robin Murphy is the Raytheon Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University and director of the Humanitarian Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and is a founding director of the Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue. She helped found the fields of disaster robotics and human-robot interaction, concentrating on developing human-centered AI forground, air, and marine robots. Her work is captured in over 150 scientific publications including the award-winning Disaster Robotics and a TED talk. Murphy has deployed robots to over 27 disasters in five countries including the 9/11 World Trade Center, Hurricane Katrina, Fukushima, the Syrian boat refugee crisis, Hurricane Harvey, the Kilauea volcanic eruption, and Hurricane Michael. Murphy’s contributions to disaster robotics have been recognized with the ACM Eugene L. Lawler Award for Humanitarian Contributions, the AUVSI Foundation’s Al Aube Award, and the Motohiro Kisoi Award for Rescue Engineering Education.
She has also won awards for her innovative teaching of artificial intelligence and robotics, which has resulted in Robotics Through Science Fiction: Artificial Intelligence Explained Through Six Classic Stories (MIT Press), the Robotics Through Science Fiction blog, and the science fiction/science fact series for the magazine Science Robotics.
