Dr. Ayanna Howard is one of the most renowned professors at Georgia Institute of Technology. Through her life she has published over 250 peer - reviewed publication. She obtained her B.S in Engineering form Brown University, her M.S.E.E. for the university of Southern California, and finally her Ph. D. in electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California in 1999. Her research interest are Human Robot interaction, Assertive/Rehabilitation Robotics, Science-Driven/Field Robotics, and Perception, learning, and Reasoning. In her early years she worked at the NASA's jet propulsion laboratory at California Institute of Technology from 1993 to 2005 , where she led the research efforts on various robotics projects that focused on vision, fuzzy logic and neutral network methodologies. Soon after she would start her tenure at Georgia Institute of Technology in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Katelyn E. Fry ( Doctoral Student)
Katelyn Fry received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Clemson University, Clemson, SC, USA, in 2014 and the M.S. degree in Robotics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA 2015. She is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree in Robotics at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA.
In 2016, she was a Researcher with the Savannah National Research Lab, Aiken, SC, USA. Her research area of interest is healthcare robotics. In this domain, she is specifically interested the development of rehabilitative and assistive robotics for children and of devices for use outside of the clinical setting (robots in the home).
Miss Fry was a participant in the Accessibility, Rehabilitation, and Movement Science National Science Foundation Research Traineeship at Georgia Tech.
