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…
From Passersby to Placemaking: Designing Autonomous Vehicle-Pedestrian Encounters for an Urban Shared Space
Yiyuan Wang, Martin Tomitsch, Marius Hoggenmüller +3
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) tend to disrupt the atmosphere and pedestrian experience in urban shared spaces, undermining the focus of these spaces on people and placemaking. We inves…
Rethinking External Communication of Autonomous Vehicles: Is the Field Converging, Diverging, or Stalling?
Tram Thi Minh Tran, Debargha Dey, Martin Tomitsch
As autonomous vehicles enter public spaces, external human-machine interfaces are proposed to support communication with external road users. A decade of research has produced hund…
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…
