Crowdsourcing Task Traces for Service Robotics
David Porfirio, Allison Sauppé, Maya Cakmak +2
Demonstration is an effective end-user development paradigm for teaching robots how to perform new tasks. In this paper, we posit that demonstration is useful not only as a teachin…
Multiple Ways of Working with Users to Develop Physically Assistive Robots
Amal Nanavati, Max Pascher, Vinitha Ranganeni +6
Despite the growth of physically assistive robotics (PAR) research over the last decade, nearly half of PAR user studies do not involve participants with the target disabilities. T…
Evaluating Customization of Remote Tele-operation Interfaces for Assistive Robots
Vinitha Ranganeni, Noah Ponto, Maya Cakmak
Mobile manipulator platforms, like the Stretch RE1 robot, make the promise of in-home robotic assistance feasible. For people with severe physical limitations, like those with quad…
Sketching Robot Programs On the Fly
David Porfirio, Laura Stegner, Maya Cakmak +3
Service robots for personal use in the home and the workplace require end-user development solutions for swiftly scripting robot tasks as the need arises. Many existing solutions p…
Share with Me: A Study on a Social Robot Collecting Mental Health Data
Raida Karim, Edgar Lopez, Katelynn Oleson +3
Social robots have been used to assist with mental well-being in various ways such as to help children with autism improve on their social skills and executive functioning such as…
Assistive Tele-op: Leveraging Transformers to Collect Robotic Task Demonstrations
Henry M. Clever, Ankur Handa, Hammad Mazhar +7
Sharing autonomy between robots and human operators could facilitate data collection of robotic task demonstrations to continuously improve learned models. Yet, the means to commun…
