Hello, my name is Ridhima Phatak. I am pursuing my master’s in computer science at the University of South Florida, where I also earned my bachelor’s degree in December 2024.
Since joining the RARE Lab in Summer 2024, I have gained valuable experience in hands-on research. My main research interests are human-robot interaction (HRI) and augmented reality (AR). Currently, I am working on a project that examines how incorporating physical protective indicators on female robots can address abuse and influence perceptions in HRI. It is an exciting journey to explore the nuances of human-robot interaction and push the boundaries of innovation in robotics.
