Assistive robots interact with humans and must adapt to different users' preferences to be effective. An easy and effective technique to learn non-expert users' preferences is thro…
Inclusion in Assistive Haircare Robotics: Practical and Ethical Considerations in Hair Manipulation
Uksang Yoo, Nathaniel Dennler, Sarvesh Patil +2
Robot haircare systems could provide a controlled and personalized environment that is respectful of an individual's sensitivities and may offer a comfortable experience. We argue…
Using Causal Trees to Estimate Personalized Task Difficulty in Post-Stroke Individuals
Nathaniel Dennler, Stefanos Nikolaidis, Maja Matarić
Adaptive training programs are crucial for recovery post stroke. However, developing programs that automatically adapt depends on quantifying how difficult a task is for a specific…
Singing the Body Electric: The Impact of Robot Embodiment on User Expectations
Nathaniel Dennler, Stefanos Nikolaidis, Maja Matarić
Users develop mental models of robots to conceptualize what kind of interactions they can have with those robots. The conceptualizations are often formed before interactions with t…
A metric for characterizing the arm nonuse workspace in poststroke individuals using a robot arm
Nathaniel Dennler, Amelia Cain, Erica De Guzman +4
An over-reliance on the less-affected limb for functional tasks at the expense of the paretic limb and in spite of recovered capacity is an often-observed phenomenon in survivors o…
The RoSiD Tool: Empowering Users to Design Multimodal Signals for Human-Robot Collaboration
Nathaniel Dennler, David Delgado, Daniel Zeng +2
Robots that cooperate with humans must be effective at communicating with them. However, people have varied preferences for communication based on many contextual factors, such as…
