AIRLab Students Present at the NY AI Summit, 2025
Promise Ekpo, Giuliano Pioldi, Yashika Batra, Royi Rozen, and Ann-Kareen Gedeous presented their work spanning Intelligent Robotic Crash Carts, to AI-driven apps that educate patients about their medical conditions, to AI-driven apps to promote mental health in young adults.
Robot & Augmented and Mixed Reality Field Deployments at BASE Camp (Weill Cornell Medicine), 2025
We deployed procedural generation applications on the Snatchap Spectacles and a Wizard-of-Oz controlled crash cart robot. Our goal is to understand how these technologies can positively influence teamwork in safety-critical environments. Better teamwork can lead to improved patient outcomes. These photos show to preparation required to conduct field studies and the environments we test our robotic and AR and mixed reality systems. This year, we had the pleasure of celebrating Promise Ekpo’s birthday on the same day as our field deployments! We celebrated Promise’s birthday after our first day of deployments!
Virtual Healthcare in the Mainstream Symposium, 2025
Dr. Taylor gave a talk about reserach AIRLab research at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI) and human-computer interaction (HCI) focused on assitive technologies with clinicians to improve patient outcomes.
Northeastern Robotics Colloquium (NERC), 2025
AIRLab attended NERC at Cornell University! Promise Ekpo presented her work of multi-agent reinforcement learning and Prof. Taylor co-organized the event to ensure its success!
