Charting the Ecosystem of Trust in Cat Royale Or what it takes to trust a robot to play with cats (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benford, Barnard, SHARPLES, S., Webb, MANCINI, C., Kucukyilmaz, Castle-Green, Schnieders, E., Ngo, V., CHAMBERLAIN, A., Fischer, Salimbeni, G., Tandavanitj, N., Adams, M., & Row Farr, J. (2025, September). Charting the Ecosystem of Trust in Cat Royale Or what it takes to trust a robot to play with cats. Paper presented at 17th International Conference on Social Robotics + AI (ICSR 2025), Naples, Italy

We present a detailed and unusual case study of ensuring trustworthiness in social robots in practice—the artwork Cat Royale in which a robot played with a family of three cats. We reveal how delivering Cat Royale involved tackling diverse aspects of... Read More about Charting the Ecosystem of Trust in Cat Royale Or what it takes to trust a robot to play with cats.

Exploring Deaf And Hard of Hearing Peoples' Perspectives On Tasks In Augmented Reality: Interacting With 3D Objects And Instructional Comprehension (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mojib Luna, S., Xu, J., Tigwell, G. W., LaLone, N., Saker, M., Chamberlain, A., Schwartz, D. I., & Papangelis, K. (2025, April). Exploring Deaf And Hard of Hearing Peoples' Perspectives On Tasks In Augmented Reality: Interacting With 3D Objects And Instructional Comprehension. Presented at 2025 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Yokohama, Japan

Tasks in augmented reality (AR), such as 3D interaction and instructional comprehension, are often designed for users with uniform sensory abilities. Such an approach, however, can overlook the more nuanced needs of Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) use...

Robots in Pain, Humans in Play: Soma as a Qualitative Method for Investigating Intelligent Human-Robot Configurations (2025)
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...
