Current Projects

Project 1: Investigating the role of anthropomorphism on pilot's trust, performance, user acceptance towards a humanoid copilot (i.e., Denjin) in a single pilot operation. 

 

Project 2: Examining the relationship between the different types of perceived risk (i.e., situational perceived risk and relational perceived risk) and trust in automation.

 

Project 3: Examining the interplay of trust in automation and visual attention allocation in a simplified vehicle operation.
