From Wizard-of-Oz Human-Robot Dialogue Collection to a Taxonomy of Robot Response Decisions: A Retrospective Analysis of Assistive Pilot Interactions
Guangping Liu, Nicholas Hawkins, Tipu Sultan +2
Robots that follow natural-language instructions in everyday indoor environments must act on incomplete human utterances. Instructions often omit essential information, such as the…
NeuroCommitSSM: Decision-Centric Shared Autonomy for Safe Assistive Manipulation via EEG-EMG-ET Commit Readiness
Tipu Sultan, Param Sangani, Kody Cool +4
We present NeuroCommitSSM, a decision-centric framework that models when to execute, not just what to do, for safe commit-to-execute control in assistive robotic manipulation. Neur…
A Dialogue-Based Human-Robot Interaction Protocol for Wheelchair and Robotic Arm Integrated Control
Guangping Liu, Nicholas Hawkins, Billy Madden +2
People with lower and upper body disabilities can benefit from wheelchairs and robotic arms to improve mobility and independence. Prior assistive interfaces, such as touchscreens a…
WheelArm-Sim: A Manipulation and Navigation Combined Multimodal Synthetic Data Generation Simulator for Unified Control in Assistive Robotics
Guangping Liu, Tipu Sultan, Vittorio Di Giorgio +3
Wheelchairs and robotic arms enhance independent living by assisting individuals with upper-body and mobility limitations in their activities of daily living (ADLs). Although recen…
A Multimodal Data Collection Framework for Dialogue-Driven Assistive Robotics to Clarify Ambiguities: A Wizard-of-Oz Pilot Study
Guangping Liu, Nicholas Hawkins, Billy Madden +3
Integrated control of wheelchairs and wheelchair-mounted robotic arms (WMRAs) has strong potential to increase independence for users with severe motor limitations, yet existing in…
