Reframing Human-Robot Interaction Through Extended Reality: Unlocking Safer, Smarter, and More Empathic Interactions with Virtual Robots and Foundation Models
Yuchong Zhang, Yong Ma, Danica Kragic
This perspective reframes human-robot interaction (HRI) through extended reality (XR), arguing that virtual robots powered by large foundation models (FMs) can serve as cognitively…
Personalizing Emotion-aware Conversational Agents? Exploring User Traits-driven Conversational Strategies for Enhanced Interaction
Yuchong Zhang, Yong Ma, Di Fu +3
Conversational agents (CAs) are increasingly embedded in daily life, yet their ability to navigate user emotions efficiently is still evolving. This study investigates how users wi…
Gesture First, LLM-Assisted Voice Complement: Exploring Multimodal Robot 'Puppeteer' Teleoperation Via Virtual Counterpart in Augmented Reality
Yuchong Zhang, Bastian Orthmann, Shichen Ji +3
Robot teleoperation via augmented reality (AR) offers a promising path toward more intuitive human-robot interaction (HRI). We present a head-mounted AR 'puppeteer' system in which…
Advancing User-Voice Interaction: Exploring Emotion-Aware Voice Assistants Through a Role-Swapping Approach
Yong Ma, Yuchong Zhang, Di Fu +3
As voice assistants (VAs) become increasingly integrated into daily life, the need for emotion-aware systems that can recognize and respond appropriately to user emotions has grown…
LLM-Driven Augmented Reality Puppeteer: Controller-Free Voice-Commanded Robot Teleoperation
Yuchong Zhang, Bastian Orthmann, Michael C. Welle +2
The integration of robotics and augmented reality (AR) presents transformative opportunities for advancing human-robot interaction (HRI) by improving usability, intuitiveness, and…
Vision Beyond Boundaries: An Initial Design Space of Domain-specific Large Vision Models in Human-robot Interaction
Yuchong Zhang, Yong Ma, Danica Kragic
The emergence of large vision models (LVMs) is following in the footsteps of the recent prosperity of Large Language Models (LLMs) in following years. However, there's a noticeable…
