Sounding out the System: Multidisciplinary Web Science Platforms for Creative Sonification (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Emsley, I., & Chamberlain, A. (2021, June). Sounding out the System: Multidisciplinary Web Science Platforms for Creative Sonification. Presented at 13th ACM Web Science Conference 2021, Virtual

In this paper, we present our initial findings in using digital methods to consider the way that different devices can connect to the same object. We take a more experimental view of the ways in which network data might be used in compositions to hel...

Intelligent control of exoskeletons through a novel learning-from-demonstration method (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ugur, E., Samur, E., Ugurlu, B., Erol Barkana, D., Kucukyilmaz, A., & Bebek, O. (2020, September). Intelligent control of exoskeletons through a novel learning-from-demonstration method. Poster presented at Cybathlon Symposium 2020, Zurich, Switzerland

We present a novel concept that enables the intelligent and adaptive control of exoskeletons through exploiting our state-of-the-art learning from demonstration (LfD) method, namely Conditional Neural Movement Primitives (CNMPs) [1], on our integrate...

Reframing Disability as Competency: Unpacking Everyday Technology Practices of People with Visual Impairments (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Reyes-Cruz, G., Fischer, J. E., & Reeves, S. (2020, April). Reframing Disability as Competency: Unpacking Everyday Technology Practices of People with Visual Impairments. Presented at CHI '20: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Honolulu HI USA

More than a billion people in the world live with some form of visual impairment, and a wide variety of technologies are now routinely used by them in the course of 'getting on' in everyday life. However, little is known about the ways in which assis... Read More about Reframing Disability as Competency: Unpacking Everyday Technology Practices of People with Visual Impairments.

Tracking the Consumption of Home Essentials (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fuentes, C., Porcheron, M., Fischer, J. E., Costanza, E., Malik, O., & Ramchurn, S. D. (2019, May). Tracking the Consumption of Home Essentials. Presented at CHI '19: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Glasgow, Scotland Uk

Predictions of people's behaviour increasingly drive interactions with a new generation of IoT services designed to support everyday life in the home, from shopping to heating. Based on the premise that such automation is difficult due to the conting... Read More about Tracking the Consumption of Home Essentials.

New Directions for the IoT: Automate, Share, Build, and Care (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fuentes, C., Porcheron, M., Fischer, J. E., Costanza, E., Verdezoto, N., Herskovic, V., Zuckerman, O., & Takayama, L. (2019, May). New Directions for the IoT: Automate, Share, Build, and Care. Presented at 2019 ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (SIG CHI 2019), Glasgow, Scotland, UK

As the IoT is taking hold in the home, in healthcare, factories, and industry, new challenges and approaches arise for HCI research and design. For example, HCI is exploring agency delegation and automation to support the user in managing the deluge... Read More about New Directions for the IoT: Automate, Share, Build, and Care.

Deployment of a distributed multi-agent architecture for transformable assembly (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chaplin, J. C., & Ratchev, S. (2018, January). Deployment of a distributed multi-agent architecture for transformable assembly. Presented at 8th IFIP WG 5.5 International Precision Assembly Seminar, IPAS 2018, Chamonix, France

Industry 4.0 represents a new philosophy in manufacturing systems, based on networked, intelligent, and cooperative resources. This revolution is necessary to make the cost-effective production of batch-size-of-one customised items in high-value manu...
