Understanding the intentions of human teammates is critical for safe and effective human-robot interaction. The canonical approach for human-aware robot motion planning is to first predict the human's goal or path, and then construct a…
Although virtual and augmented reality are gaining traction as teleoperation tools for various types of robots, including manipulators and mobile robots, they are not being used for soft robots. The inherent difficulties of modelling soft…
Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students often experience communication barriers in higher education, which are particularly acute in experiential learning environments such as laboratories. Traditional accessibility services, such as…
Robots are widespread across diverse application contexts. Teaching robots to perform tasks, in their respective contexts, demands a high domain and programming expertise. However, robot programming faces high entry barriers due to the…
Human drone interaction in autonomous navigation incorporates spatial interaction tasks, including reconstructed 3D map from the drone and human desired target position. Augmented Reality (AR) devices can be powerful interactive tools for…
While augmented reality (AR) enables new ways to play, tell stories, and explore ideas rooted in the physical world, authoring personalized AR content remains difficult for non-experts, often requiring professional tools and time. Prior…
Regardless of their industrial or research application, the streamlining of robot operations is limited by the proximity of experienced users to the actual hardware. Be it massive open online robotics courses, crowd-sourcing of robot task…
In recent years, an increasing number of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) approaches have been implemented and evaluated in Virtual Reality (VR), as it allows to speed-up design iterations and makes it safer for the final user to evaluate and…
Human-robot interaction can be regarded as a flow between users and robots. Designing good interaction flows takes a lot of effort and needs to be field tested. Unfortunately, the interaction flow design process is often very disjointed,…
The integration of haptics within Augmented Reality may help to deliver an enriched experience, while facilitating the performance of specific actions (e.g. repositioning or resizin ) that are still dependent on the user's skills. This…
To interact seamlessly with robots, users must infer the causes of a robot's behavior and be confident about that inference. Hence, trust is a necessary condition for human-robot collaboration (HRC). Despite its crucial role, it is largely…
Extended Reality (XR) is a rapidly growing field offering unique immersive experiences, social networking, learning, and collaboration opportunities. The continuous advancements in XR technology and industry efforts are gradually moving…
In this report, we present our work in visualization and augmented reality technologies supporting collaboration in manufacturing automation. Our approach is based on (i) analysis based on spatial models of automation environments, (ii)…
There has been a growing interest in extending the capabilities of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in subsea missions, particularly in integrating underwater human-robot interaction (UHRI) for control. UHRI and its subfield,underwater…
This paper introduces Teachable Reality, an augmented reality (AR) prototyping tool for creating interactive tangible AR applications with arbitrary everyday objects. Teachable Reality leverages vision-based interactive machine teaching…
Augmented reality (AR) has shown promise for supporting Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) individuals by captioning speech and visualizing environmental sounds, yet existing systems do not allow users to create personalized sound…
Augmented reality provides new possibilities to propose environments where the designers can take advantage of the physicality of the artifacts while keeping the versatility of digital environments. Mixed objects can therefore provide new…
We present an augmented reality human-swarm interface that combines two modalities of interaction: environment-oriented and robot-oriented. The environment-oriented modality allows the user to modify the environment (either virtual or…
This paper presents a research platform that supports spoken dialogue interaction with multiple robots. The demonstration showcases our crafted MultiBot testing scenario in which users can verbally issue search, navigate, and follow…
Collaboration between human and robot requires effective modes of communication to assign robot tasks and coordinate activities. As communication can utilize different modalities, a multi-modal approach can be more expressive than single…
