Before joining the lab Anna received a Bachelor of Science degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Kinesiology at the University of Maryland. Her research focuses on collaborative in-person Human-Robot Interactions in a cognitive-motor task context. Specifically, she is investigating how the robot teammates's behavior and explanations impact cognitive-effort, motor performance, trust, self-efficacy, attribution, and workload dynamics in the human teammate. Her work aims to better understand how humans are impacted in Human-Robot teaming environments to assist in future rehabilitation research (e.g., exoskeletons, prostheses).
