I really like making posters.

I really like making posters.

Presentations, Publications, Personal, I am not a robot

I really enjoy making posters of my projects. I know sometimes posters can be seen as the "less good" presentation type. But, in my experience, the conversations I've had have been far more productive and rewarding when in poster sessions than in lecture sessions. I also like making things, and posters are a great way to make tangible research papers and ideas. When my undergrads are learning how to make posters, we do a "poster walk" where we go around looking at other people's example posters and we talk about all the things we like or would improve upon. Two of my students have won best poster awards. (Just to be clear, that was not a humble brag. It was a regular brag. I have great students and they have great posters).  

I decided that I should not let them sit in the physical or digital closet anymore. Thus, I have created a page where you can explore some of these creations. Please enjoy.

Introducing the ABOT Database

Introducing the ABOT Database

Elizabeth Phillips
Publications

My colleagues at Brown and I recently completed the first iteration of a large (and largely fun!) project we are calling the Anthropomorphic RoBOT (ABOT) Database. Motivated by a wealth of studies about the anthropomorphic appearance of robots, the creation of ABOT was an attempt to conduct a large, systematic survey of the tremendous variety of anthropomorphic (human-like) robots and provide a useful tool for studying the human-like appearance of robots.

Happy to announce that the article my colleagues and I submitted to the ACM Transactions on Interactive and Intelligent Systems (TiiS), Trust in Human-Machine Interaction got a revise and resubmit. After a facelift, the revised article is back in for review. Fingers crossed, we'll be hearing back soon.

ISRR Paper submitted! Mixed Reality and Robot Motion Intent

Elizabeth Phillips
Publications

Partnering with the CS department has been really productive over the last semester. We just submitted another new paper to the International Symposium on Robotics Research (ISRR).  I am truly grateful for being able to work with such a talented and generous group of faculty and students.

Beth gets asked to help author Brown U's UAV policy! Adds feminist perspective on drones.

Elizabeth Phillips
Service, Publications

With the creation of the HCRI, new professors joining the university, and new classes being offered to students, the drone community at Brown is growing fast. In fact, one of our first drone projects was drone delivery of cookies. Yum! As a result, the University has asked the HCRI to draft the first University wide drone policy. I'm really excited to have been asked to co-author this policy. I think it will be great experience for me and will allow me to make a practical and lasting contribution to the University and its community.

Journal article: Supporting situation awareness in Soldier-robot teams

Wow. Finally, I am getting a manuscript of my dissertation work out the door. It was a herculean effort to try to cut down the manuscript to under 8,000 words. But, I think I'm happy with how it turned out.

Journal Article: Trust Repair in HRI

Elizabeth Phillips

This post is coming a bit late, but a few months back some colleagues and I submitted a journal article manuscript to the ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS) special issue on Trust and Influence in Intelligent Human-Machine Interaction. We're really excited about this piece and hope to hear back about it soon.
