Monica Anderson is an American computer scientist who is an associate professor of Computer Science at the University of Alabama. Anderson works on robotics, with a focus on multi-agent systems, multi-robot systems, and user interfaces. Anderson received the UPE Excellence in Instruction Award in 2008,[1] and co-organized the AAAI 2008 Workshop on Mobility and Manipulation[2] at the Twenty-Third AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence.
Education
Anderson earned a B.S. degree in Computer Science from Chicago State University in 1990,[3] and a PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Minnesota in 2006.[3]
Research
Anderson is director of the Distributed Autonomy Lab at the Computer Science Department at the University of Alabama, which includes several projects related to multi-agent and multi-robot systems and user interfaces, and their effect on trust.[4][better source needed] Outcomes from these projects include identification of mitigating factors on operator's trust of autonomous systems, mechanisms for increasing self-efficacy in computer science introductory courses using robotics, and approaches on improving the design of autonomous device frameworks.[1]
