Alexandra Valiton

I am a graduate student in the Robotics Program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, MA.

My research interest is in intuitive human-robot interaction, including using machine learning to develop flexible human and robot teams. I am currently working in the CIBR lab on the Upper Limb Stroke Rehabilitation robot system, focusing on robot design, motion planning, and haptics.

I am a Presidential Fellow at WPI for the 2017-2018 academic year. Prior to joining WPI, I worked with data acquisition, test automation, and semi-autonomous control systems, as well as customer support, marketing, and sales. Please refer to my LinkedIn or my website for more information regarding my previous work experience and professional involvement.
