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…
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…
Animal Interaction with Autonomous Mobility Systems: Designing for Multi-Species Coexistence
Tram Thi Minh Tran, Xinyan Yu, Marius Hoggenmueller +5
Autonomous mobility systems increasingly operate in environments shared with animals, from urban pets to wildlife. However, their design has largely focused on human interaction, w…
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…
