Dr. Mohammad Shidujaman

Independent University, Bangladesh

Dr. Mohammad Shidujaman currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) School of Engineering, Technology and Science (SETS), Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB), Dhaka, Bangladesh. His research interests include Creativity and Innovation, Robotics and AI for Society, Human-Machine Interaction, AI Ethics and Policy, Social Robotics, Design Research, Cognitive Psychology, Cross-Cultural Design, User-Centered Design/Human-Centric Computing and Behavioral Analytics, Assistive Technology in Education, Healthcare and Entertainment, New Interaction Paradigm, Anthropomorphism, Wireless Power Transmission, Traveling Salesman Problem etc.

As a roboticist, He has no dought that Human-Robot Interaction going to transform the whole technological world very soon, His present research focuses on AI-Driven emotion-based Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) in a complex scenario. Devices with autonomous mobility (robots) can be used for various interesting applications in-home or office environments. His model based on human-robot interaction with emotional attachment is to carry out the novel artistic relation with such a new technology. The end goal is how we can create and develop HRI technologies in a more systematic and impactful way, such that the developed technologies will have an immediate impact and practical applications to solve daily imperative-demanding social problems.

He is actively serving IEEE Region 10 Humanitarian Technology Activities (IEEE R10 HTA) and IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Technical Committee on Cognitive Robotics (IEEE RAS TC CR) as a committee member. He is also serving various robotics and design-related journals and conferences as an editorial board member, organizing committee member, workshop organizer, and reviewer.

Besides academia, he has also experience working with the industry like Autonomous Vehicle Company iDriverplas as an R&D Engineer which specializes in technological innovation and product development in the field of intelligent vehicles, and with Discovery Communications ltd. as an IT Manager.          

Dr. Jaman is a member of IEEE, ACM, IEB, CIEHF.
