Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics cannot be considered two separate domains these days. Internet of Robotics Things (IoRT) is a concept that has been recently introduced to describe the integration of robotics technologies in IoT…
We propose the term and concept XV (eXtended meta/omni/uni/Verse) as an alternative to, and generalization of, the shared/social virtual reality widely known as ``metaverse''. XV is shared/social XR. We, and many others, use XR (eXtended…
Emerging extended reality (XR) tools and platforms offer an exciting opportunity to align learning experiences in higher education with the futures in which students will pursue their goals. However, the dynamic nature of XR as subject…
Full-body avatars are suggested to be beneficial for communication in virtual environments, and consistency between users' voices and gestures is considered essential to ensure communication quality. This paper propose extending the…
Extended Reality (XR) enables a plethora of novel interactive shared experiences. Ideally, users are allowed to roam around freely, while audiovisual content is delivered wirelessly to their Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs). Therefore, truly…
Mid-air gestures in Extended Reality (XR) often cause fatigue and imprecision. Surface-based interactions offer improved accuracy and comfort, but current egocentric vision methods struggle due to hand tracking challenges and unreliable…
Extended Reality (XR), including virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, provides immersive and interactive experiences across diverse applications, from VR-based education to AR-based assistance and MR-based training. However, widespread XR…
Recent progress in mixed reality (MR) and robotics is enabling increasingly sophisticated forms of human-robot collaboration. Building on these developments, we introduce a novel MR framework that allows multiple quadruped robots to operate…
Work environments are often inadequate and lack inclusivity for individuals with upper-body disabilities. This paper presents a novel online framework for adaptive human-robot interaction (HRI) that accommodates users' arm mobility…
Dubbed "the successor to the mobile Internet", the concept of the Metaverse has grown in popularity. While there exist lite versions of the Metaverse today, they are still far from realizing the full vision of an immersive, embodied, and…
Extended reality (XR) technology has the incredible potential to revolutionize mental health treatment and support, bringing a whole new dimension to the field. Through the use of immersive virtual and augmented reality experiences,…
Mixed Reality (MR) presents novel opportunities to investigate how individuals perceive themselves and others during shared, augmented experiences within a common physical environment. Previous research has demonstrated that users can…
Adhering to current HRI paradigms, all of the sensors, visualisation and legibility of actions and motions are borne by the robot or its working cell. This necessarily makes robots more complex or confines them into specialised, structured…
The growing complexity and information content of data, together with the need to understand both the complex structures, relationships, and phenomena present in these data spaces, compounded with the emerging need to understand the results…
As mobile robots increasingly operate alongside humans in shared workspaces, ensuring safe, efficient, and interpretable Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) has become a pressing challenge. While substantial progress has been devoted to human…
Human-robot teaming offers great potential because of the opportunities to combine strengths of heterogeneous agents. However, one of the critical challenges in realizing an effective human-robot team is efficient information exchange -…
As an emerging technology that enables seamless integration between the physical and virtual worlds, the Metaverse has great potential to be deployed in the industrial production field with the development of extended reality (XR) and…
Virtual, Augmented, and eXtended Reality (VR/AR/XR) technologies are increasingly recognized for their applications in training, diagnostics, and psychological research, particularly in high-risk and highly regulated environments. In this…
Improving the interactivity and interconnectivity between people is one of the highlights of the Metaverse. The Metaverse relies on a core approach, digital twinning, which is a means to replicate physical world objects, people, actions and…
Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to fundamentally change how people engage with increasingly interactive urban environments. However, many challenges exist in designing and evaluating these new urban AR experiences, such as…
