"Like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic"? Feasibility, Fairness, and Ethical Concerns of a Citizen Carbon Budget for Reducing CO2 Emissions (2024)
Conference Proceeding

Radical and disruptive interventions are needed to reach "Net Zero" by 2050 to avert the climate catastrophe. Although governments, companies, cities, and institutions have pledged to take action and reduce their carbon emissions, the idea of persona...

Insights Into Legacy: Issues of Handover from a Partner-Initiated Project (2024)
Conference Proceeding

We report on a six-year collaboration with a small community organisation to develop and deploy a permanent physical / digital locative media experience as part on an ongoing community regeneration project. We describe how this unfolded over four pha... Read More about Insights Into Legacy: Issues of Handover from a Partner-Initiated Project.

Understanding Entrainment in Human Groups: Optimising Human-Robot Collaboration from Lessons Learned during Human-Human Collaboration (2024)
Conference Proceeding

Successful entrainment during collaboration positively affects trust, willingness to collaborate, and likeability towards collaborators. In this paper, we present a mixed-method study to investigate characteristics of successful entrainment leading t...

Designing Multispecies Worlds for Robots, Cats, and Humans (2024)
Conference Proceeding

We reflect on the design of a multispecies world centred around a be-spoke enclosure in which three cats and a robot arm coexist for six hours a day during a twelve-day installation as part of an artist-led project. In this paper, we present the proj... Read More about Designing Multispecies Worlds for Robots, Cats, and Humans.

Communication, Collaboration, and Coordination in a Co-located Shared Augmented Reality Game: Perspectives From Deaf and Hard of Hearing People (2024)
Conference Proceeding

Co-located collaborative shared augmented reality (CS-AR) environments have gained considerable research attention, mainly focusing on design, implementation, accuracy, and usability. Yet, a gap persists in our understanding regarding the accessibili...

Charting Ethical Tensions in Multispecies Technology Research through Beneficiary-Epistemology Space (2024)
Conference Proceeding

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...

Jess+: AI and robotics with inclusive music-making (2024)
Conference Proceeding

This paper discusses the findings from a cross-sector research project investigating how a digital score created using AI and robotics might stimulate new creative opportunities and relationships within the practices of an inclusive music ensemble. T... Read More about Jess+: AI and robotics with inclusive music-making.

Building an Embodied Musicking Dataset for co-creative music-making (2024)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper, we present our findings of the design, development and deployment of a proof-of-concept dataset that captures some of the physiological, musicological, and psychological aspects of embodied musicking. After outlining the conceptual ele... Read More about Building an Embodied Musicking Dataset for co-creative music-making.

The Purr-suit of Happiness: A Tale of Three Kittens, Robots, Humans, Cats, and AI (2024)
Conference Proceeding

This paper showcases Cat Royale, an exploration of the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on animal happiness situated at the intersection of Art, Computer Science, and Animal Welfare. We argue for the inclusion of non-human actors when designing... Read More about The Purr-suit of Happiness: A Tale of Three Kittens, Robots, Humans, Cats, and AI.

The Effect of Predictive Formal Modelling at Runtime on Performance in Human-Swarm Interaction (2024)
Conference Proceeding

Formal Modelling is often used as part of the design and testing process of software development to ensure that components operate within suitable bounds even in unexpected circumstances. In this paper, we use predictive formal modelling (PFM) at run... Read More about The Effect of Predictive Formal Modelling at Runtime on Performance in Human-Swarm Interaction.

Encountering Autonomous Robots on Public Streets (2024)
Conference Proceeding

Robots deployed in public settings enter spaces that humans live and work in. Studies of HRI in public tend to prioritise direct and deliberate interactions. Yet this misses the most common form of response to robots, which ranges from subtle fleetin... Read More about Encountering Autonomous Robots on Public Streets.

Exploring the Impact of Verbal-Imagery Cognitive Style on Web Search Behaviour and Mental Workload (2024)
Conference Proceeding

Cognitive style has been shown to influence users’ interaction with search interfaces. However, as a fundamental dimension of cognitive styles, the relationship between the Verbal-Imagery (VI) cognitive style dimension and search behaviour has not be... Read More about Exploring the Impact of Verbal-Imagery Cognitive Style on Web Search Behaviour and Mental Workload.

An Automated Performance Evaluation of the Newborn Life Support Procedure (2024)
Conference Proceeding

This research is conducted to develop an automated action recognition method to evaluate the performance of the Newborn Life Support (NLS) procedure. It will be useful to find deviations in the procedure, such as missing steps and incorrect actions,... Read More about An Automated Performance Evaluation of the Newborn Life Support Procedure.
