Susanne Trick

Susanne Trick joined the lab as a PhD student in January 2019.

She is part of the IKIDA research group investigating interactive AI algorithms and human-robot interaction.

Besides the IKIDA project, from 2019 to 2021 she was also working on the Kobo34 project which aims to contribute to maintaining the independence of elderly people with a humanoid robot that supports everyday life activities.

Susanne Trick’s research focuses on the understanding and prediction of human behavior, particularly in the interaction between human and robot. Her main interest is the integration of data from multiple modalities (e.g. gaze, gestures, speech). Consequently, she also works on probabilistic modeling of optimal combination of multimodal data, in particular considering their uncertainty and correlation.
