Hi colleagues,

We are seeking candidates for a PhD position in Human-Computer Interaction and 
Natural Language Processing.

Location: Brisbane or Sydney, Australia
Deadline: We will review applications and conduct interviews on an ongoing 
basis until a suitable candidate for the role is found.
Project title: “Spot, what’s happening?” Explaining a robot’s state through 
language

Details about the project

Collaborative human-robot teams are increasingly being used for a variety of 
tasks. When working with robots, humans sometimes need to understand what the 
robot is currently doing, why and how it got to that state, and how it 
interprets its environment. This is important for the human operator to ensure 
the robot is working according to plans and particularly important if the human 
needs to intervene or react when the robot needs help.

This project aims to explore the use of language as an interaction modality to 
facilitate the collaboration between robots and humans. The project will 
investigate what information about a robot’s state and perception is relevant 
to human operators in a given interaction and task context and how to present 
that information through language, including dialogue or chat interfaces.

The project requires expertise in Human-Computer Interaction and/or Human-Robot 
Interaction. In addition, knowledge or a willingness to upskill in natural 
language processing (including using large language models), Explainable AI, 
and robotics are highly desired.

This project addresses Dynamic Situation Awareness and Human-AI Communication, 
two of the foundational research questions being addressed in Collaborative 
Intelligence research programme at CSIRO CINTEL. The project also fits into a 
collaboration between CINTEL and the Australian Cobotic Centre’s research on 
Human-Robot Interaction.

More details about the post and instructions on how to apply are available at

Thanks,
Dai
