Robot-Assisted Group Tours for Blind People
Yaxin Hu, Masaki Kuribayashi, Allan Wang +5
Group interactions are essential to social functioning, yet effective engagement relies on the ability to recognize and interpret visual cues, making such engagement a significant…
How Does Delegation in Social Interaction Evolve Over Time? Navigation with a Robot for Blind People
Rayna Hata, Masaki Kuribayashi, Allan Wang +2
Autonomy and independent navigation are vital to daily life but remain challenging for individuals with blindness. Robotic systems can enhance mobility and confidence by providing…
Beyond Omakase: Designing Shared Control for Navigation Robots with Blind People
Rie Kamikubo, Seita Kayukawa, Yuka Kaniwa +4
Autonomous navigation robots can increase the independence of blind people but often limit user control, following what is called in Japanese an "omakase" approach where decisions…
WanderGuide: Indoor Map-less Robotic Guide for Exploration by Blind People
Masaki Kuribayashi, Kohei Uehara, Allan Wang +2
Blind people have limited opportunities to explore an environment based on their interests. While existing navigation systems could provide them with surrounding information while…
Memory-Maze: Scenario Driven Visual Language Navigation Benchmark for Guiding Blind People
Masaki Kuribayashi, Kohei Uehara, Allan Wang +3
Visual Language Navigation (VLN) powered robots have the potential to guide blind people by understanding route instructions provided by sighted passersby. This capability allows r…
X-ray Diagnostics of Thermal Conditions of the Hot Plasmas in the Centaurus Cluster
I. Takahashi, M. Kawaharada, K. Makishima +9
X-ray data of the Centaurus cluster, obtained with {\it XMM-Newton} for 45 ksec, were analyzed. Deprojected EPIC spectra from concentric thin shell regions were reproduced equally…
