ABOUT
ME!
Angelique Taylor is a Visiting Research Scientist at Meta Reality Labs Research and an incoming Assistant Professor at Cornell Tech this summer 2022!
She received her Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of California San Diego in 2021, B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2015, and her A.S. in Engineering Science from Saint Louis Community College in 2012.
Angelique's research lies at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and artificial intelligence. Her research lab designs intelligent systems that work alongside groups of people in real-world, safety-critical environments. These systems are realized through multi-robot systems, robot vision systems, AI, and augmented and virtual reality devices.
Angelique has received the NSF GRFP, Microsoft Dissertation Award, the Google Anita Borg Memorial Fellowship, the Arthur J. Schmitt Presidential Fellowship, a GEM Fellowship, and an award from the National Center for Women in Information Technology (NCWIT) as well as Best Paper Honorable Mention at CSCW 2019 and Best Paper Award at HRI 2022.

PROJECTS
Hospitals of the Future: Designing Interactive Robotic Systems for Resilient Emergency Departments
The Emergency Department (ED) is a stressful, safety-critical environment, which is overcrowded, noisy, chaotic, and understaffed. The built environment plays a key role in patient outcomes, experiences, and the mental health of healthcare workers (HCWs). However, once a space is built it is difficult to change it; so the modularity and adaptability of new technologies such as robots could potentially help stakeholders mitigate some of these challenges; yet, there is a lack of research in this area, particularly in the ED. In this paper, we address this gap by engaging HCWs in a research-through-design process, utilizing design fiction, to envision a future resilient ED. Here, robots scurry along the ceiling, provide help at the bedside, and smart furniture and walls provide spaces for privacy and calm. We co-created design prototypes of future intelligent systems that can modify the built environment to support resilience, which we then used to co-create a Design Catalog with HCWs, which contains a collection of future technology prototypes contextualized within the ED. We found that HCWs envisioned many ways for intelligent systems to help them reimagine the built environment, including ways to enhance HCW-patient communication, improve patient experience, support both HCW and patient safety, and use reconfigurable spaces to support privacy. We hope our work inspires further exploration into using new technologies to reimagine and reconfigure the built environment to support resilient hospitals. [Design Catalog]
