Can Robots Help Us to Better Understand Each Other?

Dr Leon Watts (Senior Lecturer, Department of Computer Science)

I am a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath. I research Computer-Supported Collaborative Work and Human-Robot Interaction, focusing on the analysis and design of interactive systems as they serve to help people appreciate and understand one another's concerns. My work puts people and their feelings right at the centre of interaction design problems, including in choreography as a form of embodied expression, political discussion, chronic health, cognitive rehabilitation, or the coordination of work in physical settings.

Controlling Computers With Our Eyes

Dr Christof Lutteroth (Senior Lecturer, Department of Computer Science)

My main research interests are in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), with a focus on eye-gaze interaction and health. I am researching new ways to enable users to control electronic devices using their eyes (see, for example, actigaze.com).

I am also investigating applications of HCI in health, such as the use of virtual reality in exercise and rehabilitation.
