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…
FLAME: A Federated Learning Benchmark for Robotic Manipulation
Santiago Bou Betran, Alberta Longhini, Miguel Vasco +2
Recent progress in robotic manipulation has been fueled by large-scale datasets collected across diverse environments. Training robotic manipulation policies on these datasets is t…
