Welcome!

I’m De’Aira Bryant.

I develop new technologies that enhance lives through social interaction. In other words, I program machines to interact with humans skillfully and gracefully. Sometimes, I even make them dance!

Bryant, D., Etiene,T., Howard, A., Smart, W.D., and Glas, D. (2023). Teaching a robot where to park: A scalable crowdsourcing approach. In the
30th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN ’23)
.

  • In this paper, we focus on the specific problem of the social appropriateness of a social robot parking in different locations in the home.
  • We recommend a labeled 2D map approach as a scalable data presentation method for annotation tasks that require the use of human intuition to reason over the social use of space.

Children are our greatest resource, and should therefore be our biggest investment.
