Human-AI interaction
Understand how people work with robots
Use eye tracking to reveal how people direct attention as they interact, coordinate, and share tasks with robots in real and simulated environments.
Add human perspective to robotics
Robots can record their movements, commands, position, and task state. Eye tracking reveals what the person was attending to throughout the interaction.
Investigate when people look toward a robot, monitor its movements, search for information, anticipate actions, or shift attention between the robot, task, and surrounding environment.

Benefits
BenefitsTurn human insight into more effective collaboration
Use gaze data to uncover how people respond to robotic systems, helping teams shape safer, more intuitive, and better coordinated ways of working together.
Guide attention effectively
See how people interaction with the robot, task, or surrounding information to design clearer cues and more intuitive interactions.
Enable smoother coordination
Identify how people and robots exchange visual information during shared tasks to support more seamless collaboration.
Hazards attract attention
Discover whether robot movements, warnings, and potential hazards receive attention when needed to inform safer shared environments.
Shape more intuitive robot behavior
Compare how movements, feedback, and interfaces influence attention to help robots communicate their actions more clearly to people.
Support appropriate reliance
Combine gaze with performance and self-reported measures to understand how people monitor robots, respond to their actions, and decide when to intervene.
Optimize team performance
Reveal how attention and responsibilities shift during shared tasks to identify opportunities for more effective team performance.
Applications
ApplicationsEye tracking across human-robot interaction research

Research insights
Research measuresWhat you can measure
Turn gaze behavior into measurable data to investigate how people monitor robots, coordinate attention, and respond throughout an interaction.
Attention distribution
Measure how visual attention is divided between the robot, task, environment, and other sources of information.
Gaze transitions
Investigate when and how attention shifts between the robot and other elements throughout an interaction.
Fixations and dwell time
Measure which robot features, movements, objects, interfaces, or areas of the environment receive attention and for how long.
Areas of interest
Define relevant areas around robots, interfaces, task objects, or environmental features and compare attention across conditions.
Data integrationConnect gaze with robot and task data
Synchronize visual attention with robot state, system events, task performance, video, motion, and other measures to understand what was happening when attention changed.
Relate gaze to robot behavior
Investigate where someone was looking before, during, and after robot movements, warnings, task changes, or other events.
Connect attention with performance
Relate visual behavior to task outcomes, response times, errors, interventions, and other performance measures.
Combine multiple data streams
Bring gaze together with robot data, video, motion, physiological signals, or other research measures for a richer view of the interaction.
