COHERE Workshop 2027 @ AIT
Collaborative Optimization of Human Engagement and Robot Effectiveness
Connecting Human Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, and Robotics through Global Academic–Industry Collaboration
Workshop Concept
COHERE 2027 brings together students, researchers, faculty members, clinicians, and industry professionals to explore how principles learned from human–human collaboration can be translated into more effective and intelligent human–robot interaction.
Focus Areas
- Human–human and human–robot collaboration
- Brain and behavioral signal acquisition
- Neurobehavioral sensing and interpretation
- AI-driven engagement analysis
- Human trust and teamwork in robotic systems
- Adaptive and intelligent robot control
- Real-time neural and behavioral feedback
- Engineering principles for safe and effective collaborative robotics
A key emphasis is how adaptability, modularity, resilience, trust, communication, and teamwork can be incorporated into next-generation robotic systems.
Workshop Leads
Academic leads from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), USA, bringing expertise in robotics, human–robot interaction, neurobehavioral sensing, communication, teamwork, behavioral analysis, and adaptive intelligent systems.
