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...

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...

A Taxonomy of Domestic Robot Failure Outcomes: Understanding the impact of failure on trustworthiness of domestic robots (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cameron, H. R., Castle-Green, S., Chughtai, M., Dowthwaite, L., Kucukyilmaz, A., A. Maior, H. A., Ngo, V., Schneiders, E., & C. Stahl, B. (2024, September). A Taxonomy of Domestic Robot Failure Outcomes: Understanding the impact of failure on trustworthiness of domestic robots. Presented at Trustworthy Autonomous Systems International Symposium '24, Austin, Texas, USA

Domestic robots are fast becoming an integrated part of daily life. In anticipation of increased uptake of robotic assistants in the home, researchers and designers must investigate what makes domestic robotic interventions trustworthy or untrustwort...

Understanding user needs of personalisation-based automated systems with development and application of novel ideation cards (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Duvnjak, J., Kucukyilmaz, A., & Houghton, R. (2024, July). Understanding user needs of personalisation-based automated systems with development and application of novel ideation cards. Presented at 15th International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics (AHFE 2024), Nice, France

Personalisation is a commonly utilised technology in socially focused online platforms. It has gathered widespread usage through its ability to match a system to the needs of users through their data. This allows systems to be more user-friendly or e...

Charting Ethical Tensions in Multispecies Technology Research through Beneficiary-Epistemology Space (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benford, S. D., Mancini, C., Chamberlain, A., Schneiders, E., Castle-Green, S. D., Fischer, J. E., Kucukyilmaz, A., Salimbeni, G., Ngo, V. Z. H., Barnard, P., Adams, M., Tandavanitj, N., & Row Farr, J. (2024, May). Charting Ethical Tensions in Multispecies Technology Research through Beneficiary-Epistemology Space. Presented at CHI '24 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Hawaii, USA

While ethical challenges are widely discussed in HCI, far less is reported about the ethical processes that researchers routinely navigate. We reflect on a multispecies project that negotiated an especially complex ethical approval process. Cat Royal...
