My research focuses on human-centred robotics for complex industrial environments, especially electric-vehicle battery disassembly, nuclear decommissioning, and shared-control mobile manipulation. I study how robots can infer human intent, coordinate multi-robot actions, use extended reality for teleoperation, and apply language or vision-language models while keeping plans inspectable, safe, and useful for real operators.
