Making Sense of Public Space for Robot Design (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pelikan, H. R. M., Mutlu, B., & Reeves, S. (2025, March). Making Sense of Public Space for Robot Design. Presented at HRI 2025, Melbourne, Australia

If robots are to be deployed in public places, we need to understand what factors their design should consider. Informed by sociological studies of urban settings, particularly the work of William H. Whyte and the Street Life Project, we describe fou... Read More about Making Sense of Public Space for Robot Design.

Into the Here and Now: Explorations within a New Acoustic Virtual Reality (2025)
Journal Article
Cliffe, L. (2025). Into the Here and Now: Explorations within a New Acoustic Virtual Reality. Leonardo, 118–124. https://doi.org/10.1162/leon_a_02651

The author reflects upon listeners’ experiences and the practice of developing a number of audio augmented reality sound installations deployed between 2019 and 2020.

HCat-GNet: a Human-Interpretable GNN Tool for Ligand Optimization in Asymmetric Catalysis (2025)
Journal Article
Aguilar-Bejarano, E., Özcan, E., Rit, R. K., Li, H., Lam, H. W., Moore, J. C., Woodward, S., & Figueredo, G. (2025). HCat-GNet: a Human-Interpretable GNN Tool for Ligand Optimization in Asymmetric Catalysis. iScience, Article 111881. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2025.111881

Optimization of metal-ligand asymmetric catalysts is usually done by empirical trials, where the ligand is arbitrary modified, and the new catalyst is re-evaluated in the lab. This procedure is not efficient and alternative strategies are highly desi... Read More about HCat-GNet: a Human-Interpretable GNN Tool for Ligand Optimization in Asymmetric Catalysis.

Experiencing the Future Mundane: Configuring Design Fiction as Breaching Experiment (2025)

This paper introduces a novel methodological approach for surfacing the acceptability and adoption challenges that confront future and emerging technologies from the perspective of mundane action, in which they will ultimately be embedded and used. T... Read More about Experiencing the Future Mundane: Configuring Design Fiction as Breaching Experiment.

Performance metrics outperform physiological indicators in robotic teleoperation workload assessment (2024)
Journal Article
Odoh, G., Landowska, A., Crowe, E. M., Benali, K., Cobb, S., Wilson, M. L., Maior, H. A., & Kucukyilmaz, A. (2024). Performance metrics outperform physiological indicators in robotic teleoperation workload assessment. Scientific Reports, 14(1), Article 30984. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-82112-4

Robotics holds the potential to streamline the execution of repetitive and dangerous tasks, which are difficult or impossible for a human operator. However, in complex scenarios, such as nuclear waste management or disaster response, full automation...

Safe Robot Reflexes: A Taxonomy-based Decision and Modulation Framework (2024)
Journal Article
Vorndamme, J., Melone, A., Kirschner, R., Figueredo, L., & Haddadin, S. (2024). Safe Robot Reflexes: A Taxonomy-based Decision and Modulation Framework. IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 1-20. https://doi.org/10.1109/tro.2024.3519421

Recent advances in control and planning allow for seamless physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). At the same time, novel challenges appear in orchestrating intelligent decision-making and ensuring safe control of robots. Particularly in scenarios...

This article presents and discusses the results from visitors’ interactions with two audio augmented reality experiences containing audio augmented objects; physical, real-world objects to which virtual audio sources have been attached. It then proce... Read More about Interfacing with history: curating with audio augmented objects.

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...
