One Body, Two Minds: Variable Autonomy Approach for a Co-embodied Robotic Hand

Piotr Koczy, Yuchong Zhang, Danica Kragic +1

Assistive robotic systems face a fundamental trade-off: fully autonomous systems lack user agency, while fully user-controlled systems demand continuous cognitive effort. Existing…

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…

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…

Hybrid-Diffusion Models: Combining Open-loop Routines with Visuomotor Diffusion Policies

Jonne Van Haastregt, Bastian Orthmann, Michael C. Welle +2

Despite the fact that visuomotor-based policies obtained via imitation learning demonstrate good performances in complex manipulation tasks, they usually struggle to achieve the sa…

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…
