Understanding Pedestrian Gesture Misrecognition: Insights from Vision-Language Model Reasoning
Tram Thi Minh Tran, Xinyan Yu, Callum Parker +3
Pedestrian gestures play an important role in traffic communication, particularly in interactions with autonomous vehicles (AVs), yet their subtle, ambiguous, and context-dependent…
Animal Interaction with Autonomous Mobility Systems: Designing for Multi-Species Coexistence
Tram Thi Minh Tran, Xinyan Yu, Marius Hoggenmueller +5
Autonomous mobility systems increasingly operate in environments shared with animals, from urban pets to wildlife. However, their design has largely focused on human interaction, w…
Peek into the `White-Box': A Field Study on Bystander Engagement with Urban Robot Uncertainty
Xinyan Yu, Marius Hoggenmueller, Tram Thi Minh Tran +3
Uncertainty inherently exists in the autonomous decision-making process of robots. Involving humans in resolving this uncertainty not only helps robots mitigate it but is also cruc…
Robots in the Wild: Contextually-Adaptive Human-Robot Interactions in Urban Public Environments
Xinyan Yu, Yiyuan Wang, Tram Thi Minh Tran +9
The increasing transition of human-robot interaction (HRI) context from controlled settings to dynamic, real-world public environments calls for enhanced adaptability in robotic sy…
Virtual Urban Field Studies: Evaluating Urban Interaction Design Using Context-Based Interface Prototypes
