Tasks of a Different Color: How Crowdsourcing Practices Differ per Complex Task Type and Why This Matters (2023)
Conference Proceeding

Crowdsourcing in China is a thriving industry. Among its most interesting structures, we find crowdfarms, in which crowdworkers self-organize as small organizations to tackle macrotasks. Little, however, is known as to which practices these crowdfarm... Read More about Tasks of a Different Color: How Crowdsourcing Practices Differ per Complex Task Type and Why This Matters.

Resolving conflicts during human-robot co-manipulation (2023)
Conference Proceeding

This paper proposes a machine learning (ML) approach to detect and resolve motion conflicts that occur between a human and a proactive robot during the execution of a physically collaborative task. We train a random forest classifier to distinguish b... Read More about Resolving conflicts during human-robot co-manipulation.
