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…
Designing Drone Interfaces to Assist Pedestrians Crossing Non-Signalised Roads
Guixiang Zhang, Yiyuan Wang, Marius Hoggenmueller
Recent research highlights the potential of drones to enhance pedestrian experiences, such as aiding navigation and supporting street-level activities. This paper explores the desi…
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…
