CoCoCo: Co-Designing a Co-design toolkit for Co-bots to empower autistic adults
2019
Figshare
Research has shown social robots as enabling robot-assisted therapy or providing assistance in everyday activities. ...
We present Co3, a first step in open-source, scalable, democratized design of social assistive robots, with the aim to increase inclusiveness and democratization. ...
Thus, through this session, the Co 3 project was encouraged to think of another route towards enabling PD of social robots, one which was process-centric, rather than technology-centric: Where a process ...

Task-centric Optimization of Configurations for Assistive Robots
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
We additionally demonstrate how TOC can find configurations for more than one robot and can be used to assist in designing or optimizing environments. ...
Notably, TOC can return more than one configuration that when used sequentially enable a simulated assistive robot to reach more task-relevant locations. ...
Performance of assistive tasks is addressed in many other works (see Section 2.4). The questions we ask are: how can the the robot select a good configuration, and what makes a configuration good? ...

"Grip-that-there": An Investigation of Explicit and Implicit Task Allocation Techniques for Human-Robot Collaboration
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
The techniques were implemented and evaluated using a tabletop HRC simulation in VR. ...
In ad-hoc human-robot collaboration (HRC), humans and robots work on a task without pre-planning the robot's actions prior to execution; instead, task allocation occurs in real-time. ...
