Attune: A Self-Annotation Tool for Understanding Robot Operator Attention Profiles
Puqi Zhou, Sungsoo Ray Hong, David Porfirio
Deploying robot fleets in complex, real-world environments requires human operators to supervise multiple robots simultaneously. Managing operator attention is a fundamental challe…
Designing for Robot Wranglers: A Synthesis of Literature and Practice
David Porfirio, Ian McDermott, Hsin-Mei Chen +3
Robots are increasingly present in human spaces, such as for conducting deliveries in hospitals, interacting with visitors at museums, and stocking items in warehouses. To ensure t…
Distill: Uncovering the True Intent behind Human-Robot Communication
Ting Li, David Porfirio
As robots become increasingly integrated into everyday environments, intuitive communication paradigms such as natural language and end-user programming have become indispensable f…
POrTAL: Plan-Orchestrated Tree Assembly for Lookahead
Evan Conway, David Porfirio, David Chan +2
When tasking robots in partially observable environments, these robots must efficiently and robustly plan to achieve task goals under uncertainty. Although many probabilistic plann…
Understanding On-the-Fly End-User Robot Programming
Laura Stegner, Yuna Hwang, David Porfirio +1
Novel end-user programming (EUP) tools enable on-the-fly (i.e., spontaneous, easy, and rapid) creation of interactions with robotic systems. These tools are expected to empower use…
Goal-Oriented End-User Programming of Robots
David Porfirio, Mark Roberts, Laura M. Hiatt
End-user programming (EUP) tools must balance user control with the robot's ability to plan and act autonomously. Many existing task-oriented EUP tools enforce a specific level of…
End-User Development for Human-Robot Interaction
Laura Stegner, David Porfirio, Laura M. Hiatt +3
End-user development (EUD) represents a key step towards making robotics accessible for experts and nonexperts alike. Within academia, researchers investigate novel ways that EUD t…
Considerations for End-User Development in the Caregiving Domain
Laura Stegner, David Porfirio, Mark Roberts +1
As service robots become more capable of autonomous behaviors, it becomes increasingly important to consider how people communicate with a robot what task it should perform and how…
Sketching Robot Programs On the Fly
David Porfirio, Laura Stegner, Maya Cakmak +3
Service robots for personal use in the home and the workplace require end-user development solutions for swiftly scripting robot tasks as the need arises. Many existing solutions p…
PD/EUP Workshop Proceedings
Emmanuel Senft, David Porfirio, Katie Winkle
People who need robots are often not the same as people who can program them. This key observation in human-robot interaction (HRI) has lead to a number of challenges when developi…
