Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wu, Z., Moemeni, A., & Caleb-Solly, P. (2025, October). Ensemble Foreground Management for Unsupervised Object Discovery. Presented at International Conference on Computer Vision ICCV 2025, Honolulu, Hawai'i

Unsupervised object discovery (UOD) aims to detect and segment objects in 2D images without handcrafted anno- tations. Recent progress in self-supervised representation learning [9, 66] has led to some success in UOD algo- rithms [21, 53, 69]. Howeve...

Analyzing Gait Adaptation with Hemiplegia Simulation Suits (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chen, J., Clos, J., Price, D., & Caleb-Solly, P. (2025, July). Analyzing Gait Adaptation with Hemiplegia Simulation Suits. Presented at EMBC 2025, Copenhagen, Denmark

To advance the development of assistive and rehabilitation robots, it is essential to conduct experiments early in the design cycle. However, testing early prototypes directly with users can pose safety risks. To address this, we explore the use of c... Read More about Analyzing Gait Adaptation with Hemiplegia Simulation Suits.

Tangles: Unpacking Extended Collision Experiences with Soma Trajectories (2025)
Journal Article
Benford, S., Garrett, R., Li, C., Tennent, P., NÚÑEZ-PACHECO, C., Núñez-Pacheco, C., Kucukyilmaz, A., Tsaknaki, V., HÖÖK, K., Höök, K., Caleb-Solly, P., Marshall, J., Schneiders, E., Popova, K., & Afana, J. (in press). Tangles: Unpacking Extended Collision Experiences with Soma Trajectories. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, https://doi.org/10.1145/3723875

We reappraise the idea of colliding with robots, moving from a position that tries to avoid or mitigate collisions to one that considers them an important facet of human interaction. We report on a soma design workshop that explored how our bodies co... Read More about Tangles: Unpacking Extended Collision Experiences with Soma Trajectories.

Somatic Safety: An Embodied Approach Towards Safe Human-Robot Interaction (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benford, S., Schneiders, E., Martinez Avila, J. P., Caleb-Solley, P., Brundell, P. R., Castle-Green, S., Zhou, F., Garrett, R., Höök, K., Whatley, S., Marsh, K., & Tennent, P. (2025, March). Somatic Safety: An Embodied Approach Towards Safe Human-Robot Interaction. Presented at HRI '25: Proceedings of the 2025 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction, Melbourne, Australia

As robots enter the messy human world so the vital matter of safety takes on a fresh complexion with physical contact becoming inevitable and even desirable. We report on an artistic-exploration of how dancers, working as part of a multidisciplinary... Read More about Somatic Safety: An Embodied Approach Towards Safe Human-Robot Interaction.

Trust in Robot Benchmarking and Benchmarking for Trustworthy Robots (2024)
