A bit late but still: After an intense week of discussing collaborations, engaging in several workshops with students, I am back in (somewhat chaotic) Europe. I have had a blast in working together with undergraduate & graduate students, as well as senior researchers and professors from both Wellesley College and the University of New Hampshire. We all had one common topic in mind: how to make a future office & living room automated vehicle a possiblity – with many points of view: from ergonomics, AI, to design for well-being.
Despite a few bloopers (I once forgot my luggage in the Wellesley College HCI lab after all the Wellesley students left and had to call the police), I would definitely love to return at some point and / or be able to invite them back to our research facilities at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt in Germany – at least when the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is over…
In that regard, stay safe & healthy!
