Welcome to the PIONEER Lab at New Jersey Institute of Technology!

We develop human-centered interfaces that empower people to interact effectively with robots across diverse physical embodiments and levels of autonomy. Our research focuses on designing versatile human–robot interaction paradigms, evaluating human–robot collaboration outcomes, and advancing generative physical AI capabilities. By integrating intuitive interaction, efficient collaboration, and AI-powered autonomy, we aim to foster seamless human–robot symbiosis in everyday life.
