About
Dr. Maryam Banitalebi Dehkordi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and human-computer interaction, best known for founding the emerging field of **Explainable Robotics**. Her seminal 2020 paper, which has garnered 89 citations, introduced novel computational models and algorithms that enable robots to generate transparent, understandable explanations during human-robot interactions—a critical step toward building trust in autonomous systems. Building on this foundation, her work on **Explainability in Human-Robot Teaming** (2021) further explores how robots can coordinate seamlessly with human teammates by making their intentions and actions legible. Dr. Dehkordi’s contributions extend to social perception, where she designed and evaluated a unique social perception system (35 citations) and an RGB-D based social behavior interpretation system for humanoid robots, enabling them to recognize and respond to human social cues. Her most recent cutting-edge research introduces a **Personalised Large Language Model (PLLM)** agent for HRI and HCI, pushing the boundaries of AI-powered adaptive interaction. With a career spanning from mechanical balancing mechanisms to cognitive AI models, Dr. Dehkordi’s work has earned over 180 citations, establishing her as a leading voice in making robots not just intelligent, but truly collaborative and understandable partners.
