Conference Proceeding
Schneiders, E., Benford, S., Chamberlain, A., Mancini, C., Castle-Green, S., Ngo, V., …Fischer, J. (in press). Designing Multispecies Worlds for Robots, Cats, and Humans. In Proceedings of the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI ’24), May 11–16, 2024, Honolulu, HI, USA. https://doi.org/10.1145/3613904.3642115

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.

Charting Ethical Tensions in Multispecies Technology Research through Beneficiary-Epistemology Space (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Benford, S., Mancini, C., Chamberlain, A., Schneiders, E., Castle-Green, S., Fischer, J., …Ju, R. F. (in press). Charting Ethical Tensions in Multispecies Technology Research through Beneficiary-Epistemology Space.

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...

TAS for Cats: An Artist-led Exploration of Trustworthy Autonomous Systems for Companion Animals (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Schneiders, E., Chamberlain, A., Fischer, J. E., Benford, S., Castle-Green, S., Ngo, V., …Mills, D. (2023). TAS for Cats: An Artist-led Exploration of Trustworthy Autonomous Systems for Companion Animals. In TAS ‘23: Proceedings of The First International Symposium on Trustworthy Autonomous Systems 11-12 July 2023 Edinburgh, UK. https://doi.org/10.1145/3597512.3597517

Cat Royale is an artist-led exploration of trustworthy autonomous systems (TAS) created by the TAS Hub's creative ambassadors Blast Theory. A small community of cats inhabits a purpose built 'cat utopia' at the centre of which a robot arm tries to en...

Robustness of Deep Learning Methods for Occluded Object Detection - A Study Introducing a Novel Occlusion Dataset (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Wu, Z., Moemeni, A., Caleb-Solly, P., & Castle-Green, S. (2023). Robustness of Deep Learning Methods for Occluded Object Detection - A Study Introducing a Novel Occlusion Dataset. In 2023 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN). https://doi.org/10.1109/ijcnn54540.2023.10191368

A large number of deep learning based object detection algorithms have been proposed and applied in a wide range of domains such as security, autonomous driving and robotics. In practical usage, objects being occluded are common, and can result in re...
