Book Chapter
Thoduka, S., Nair, D., Caleb-Solly, P., Dragone, M., Cavallo, F., & Hochgeschwender, N. (2024). Trust in Robot Benchmarking and Benchmarking for Trustworthy Robots. In M. I. Aldinhas Ferreira (Ed.), Producing Artificial Intelligent Systems: The Roles of Benchmarking, Standardisation and Certification (31-51). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-55817-7_3

Trustworthy evaluation of robots is necessary for them to be deployed and accepted in society. Scientific benchmarking competitions provide a way to evaluate robots outside of lab conditions. We propose a progressive and iterative benchmarking proces... Read More about Trust in Robot Benchmarking and Benchmarking for Trustworthy Robots.

A Study on the Effects of Cognitive Overloading and Distractions on Human Movement During Robot-Assisted Dressing (2022)
Journal Article
Camilleri, A., Dogramadzi, S., & Caleb-Solly, P. (2022). A Study on the Effects of Cognitive Overloading and Distractions on Human Movement During Robot-Assisted Dressing. Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 9, Article 815871. https://doi.org/10.3389/frobt.2022.815871

For robots that can provide physical assistance, maintaining synchronicity of the robot and human movement is a precursor for interaction safety. Existing research on collaborative HRI does not consider how synchronicity can be affected if humans are...

Assessing the Role of Gaze Tracking in Optimizing Humans-In-The-Loop Telerobotic Operation Using Multimodal Feedback (2021)
Journal Article
Bolarinwa, J., Eimontaite, I., Mitchell, T., Dogramadzi, S., & Caleb-Solly, P. (2021). Assessing the Role of Gaze Tracking in Optimizing Humans-In-The-Loop Telerobotic Operation Using Multimodal Feedback. Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 8, Article 578596. https://doi.org/10.3389/frobt.2021.578596

A key challenge in achieving effective robot teleoperation is minimizing teleoperators’ cognitive workload and fatigue. We set out to investigate the extent to which gaze tracking data can reveal how teleoperators interact with a system. In this stud...
