Robots in Pain, Humans in Play: Soma as a Qualitative Method for Investigating Intelligent Human-Robot Configurations (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chamberlain, A., Ngo, V., McGarry, G., Kucukyilmaz, A., Benford, S., & Higgins, A. (2025, February). Robots in Pain, Humans in Play: Soma as a Qualitative Method for Investigating Intelligent Human-Robot Configurations. Presented at Designing for Bodies: Practices, Imaginaries and Discourses, University of Southern Denmark, Kolding

In this piece we start to explore the ways in which we somatise our interaction with robots as a symbiotic system - both as human and robot, and as human-robot. We also consider the ways that we might want to take our physical nature (existence), for...

The Goods and Bads in Dyadic Co-Manipulation: Identifying Conflict-Driven Interaction Behaviours in Human-Human Collaboration (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Issak, I., & Kucukyilmaz, A. (2020, April). The Goods and Bads in Dyadic Co-Manipulation: Identifying Conflict-Driven Interaction Behaviours in Human-Human Collaboration. Presented at UKRAS20 Conference: “Robots into the real world”, Lincoln, UK

One of the challenges in collaborative human-robot object transfer is the robot’s ability to infer about the interaction state and adapt to it in real time. During joint object transfer humans communicate about the interaction states through mul- tip...

One-shot assistance estimation from expert demonstrations for a shared control wheelchair system (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kucukyilmaz, A., & Demiris, Y. (2015, August). One-shot assistance estimation from expert demonstrations for a shared control wheelchair system. Presented at 24th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN 2015), Kobe, Japan

An emerging research problem in the field of assistive robotics is the design of methodologies that allow robots to provide human-like assistance to the users. Especially within the rehabilitation domain, a grand challenge is to program a robot to mi...

Recognition of Haptic Interaction Patterns in Dyadic Joint Object Manipulation (2014)
Journal Article
Madan, C. E., Kucukyilmaz, A., Sezgin, T. M., & Basdogan, C. (2015). Recognition of Haptic Interaction Patterns in Dyadic Joint Object Manipulation. IEEE Transactions on Haptics, 8(1), 54-66. https://doi.org/10.1109/toh.2014.2384049

The development of robots that can physically cooperate with humans has attained interest in the last decades. Obviously, this effort requires a deep understanding of the intrinsic properties of interaction. Up to now, many researchers have focused o...
