Animated Public Furniture as an Interaction Mediator: Engaging Passersby In-the-Wild with Robotic Benches
Xinyan Yu, Marius Hoggenmueller, Xin Lu +4
Urban HCI investigates how digital technologies shape human behaviour within the social, spatial, temporal dynamics of public space. Meanwhile, robotic furniture research demonstra…
Fostering Design-Policy Collaboration through Contestation: An Adversarial Futuring Method
Xinyan Yu, Marius Hoggenmueller, Tram Thi Minh Tran +1
Emerging technologies introduce sociotechnical tensions that call for closer collaboration between technology design and policy. In this work, we introduce Design-Policy Adversaria…
The UnScripted Trip: Fostering Policy Discussion on Future Human-Vehicle Collaboration in Autonomous Driving Through Design-Oriented Methods
Xinyan Yu, Julie Stephany Berrio Perez, Marius Hoggenmüller +4
The rapid advancement of autonomous vehicle (AV) technologies is fundamentally reshaping paradigms of human-vehicle collaboration, raising not only an urgent need for innovative de…
Feel the Presence: The Effects of Haptic Sensation on VR-Based Human-Robot Interaction
Xinyan Yu, Marius Hoggenmüller, Tram Thi Minh Tran +1
Virtual reality (VR) has been increasingly utilised as a simulation tool for human-robot interaction (HRI) studies due to its ability to facilitate fast and flexible prototyping. D…
Towards Adaptive External Communication in Autonomous Vehicles: A Conceptual Design Framework
Tram Thi Minh Tran, Judy Kay, Stewart Worrall +6
External Human-Machine Interfaces (eHMIs) are key to facilitating interaction between autonomous vehicles and external road actors, yet most remain reactive and do not account for…
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…
