XR: An Extended Reality Platform for Social-Physical Human-Robot Interaction
Chao Wang, Anna Belardinelli, Michael Gienger
Social-physical human-robot interaction (spHRI) is difficult to study: building and programming robots that integrate multiple interaction modalities is costly and slow, while VR-b…
Generation of Real-time Robotic Emotional Expressions Learning from Human Demonstration in Mixed Reality
Chao Wang, Michael Gienger, Fan Zhang
Expressive behaviors in robots are critical for effectively conveying their emotional states during interactions with humans. In this work, we present a framework that autonomously…
Mirror Skin: In Situ Visualization of Robot Touch Intent on Robotic Skin
David Wagmann, Matti Krüger, Chao Wang +1
Effective communication of robotic touch intent is a key factor in promoting safe and predictable physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). While intent communication has been widel…
CARMA: Context-Aware Situational Grounding of Human-Robot Group Interactions by Combining Vision-Language Models with Object and Action Recognition
Joerg Deigmoeller, Stephan Hasler, Nakul Agarwal +8
We introduce CARMA, a system for situational grounding in human-robot group interactions. Effective collaboration in such group settings requires situational awareness based on a c…
Mirror Eyes: Explainable Human-Robot Interaction at a Glance
Matti Krüger, Daniel Tanneberg, Chao Wang +2
The gaze of a person tends to reflect their interest. This work explores what happens when this statement is taken literally and applied to robots. Here we present a robot system t…
