Leading one of Cornell\u2019s projects are Hadas Kress-Gazit, the Geoffrey S.M. Hedrick Senior Professor, together with Guy Hoffman, associate professor \u2013 both in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in the Cornell Duffield College of Engineering. Leading a separate project is Angelina Wang, assistant professor of information science in the Cornell Bowers College of Computing and Information Science and based at Cornell Tech.<\/p>\n<p>Kress-Gazit and Hoffman\u2019s project, \u201cHuman-Robot Interaction with LBMs: Mitigating Collaborative Task Failures,\u201d explores how robots powered by large behavior models can better collaborate with people when tasks go wrong or conditions change unexpectedly. The research aims to detect failures in the human-robot collaboration, visualize them to the person, and repair the interaction.<\/p>\n<p>The work builds on Kress-Gazit and Hoffman\u2019s research on human-robot interaction, how people react to robot failures, and techniques for detecting and predicting robot failure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wang\u2019s project, \u201cHuman-AI Co-Evolution: Assessing Risks and Benefits of Personalized Conversational AI Agents,\u201d examines how AI chatbots personalize interactions with users and how those systems can be designed responsibly. The project will study how personalization affects trust, comfort and user experience while developing methods to evaluate and improve chatbot behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Wang\u2019s research addresses&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.cornell.edu\/stories\/2026\/05\/toyota-research-institute-cornell-partner-ai-projects\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toyota Research Institute, Cornell partner on AI projects https:\/\/news.cornell.edu\/stories\/2026\/05\/toyota-research-institute-cornell-partner-ai-projects Publish Date: 2026-05-18 15:41:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":248736,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/news.cornell.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/story_thumbnail_lg\/public\/2026-05\/up_2018_0392_085_jpg.jpg?itok=jDQlgeOW","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-248735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248735"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=248735"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248735\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":248737,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248735\/revisions\/248737"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/248736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=248735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=248735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=248735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
