Connor Mattson

Robotics Ph.D. Student, University of Utah

I am a second year Ph.D. Robotics Student in the Robotics Center and Kahlert School of Computing at the University of Utah. Currently, I work as a graduate researcher in the Aligned, Robust, Interactive Autonomy (ARIA) Laboratory advised by Daniel S. Brown. My primary research interests are Human-Robot Interaction, Multi-Agent RLHF, and Swarm Robotics. Currently I'm researching how machine learning can help humans understand what their robots are capable of, how we can efficiently leverage human input to teach multi-robot systems how to perform tasks, and how to share control of high-DoF robots between human teleoperators and AI. After my Ph.D., I plan to continue my research in a tenure-track faculty position at a research-focused university.
