Hello! My name is Mark Zolotas and I’m a research scientist in the Institute for Experiential Robotics (IER) at Northeastern University.
My research interests span the domains of machine learning, robot control, and extended reality. If you are curious about these topics and how I study their overlap in the field of human-robot collaboration, then you can find out more on this website.
