Are Preferences Useful for Better Assistance?: A Physically Assistive Robotics User Study
ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction (THRI), Volume 10, Issue 4Article No.: 39, Pages 1–19https://doi.org/10.1145/3472208Assistive Robots have an inherent need of adapting to the user they are assisting. This is crucial for the correct development of the task, user safety, and comfort. However, adaptation can be performed in several manners. We believe user preferences ...

HRI '20: Proceedings of the 2020 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionPages 181–190https://doi.org/10.1145/3319502.3374818A robot-assisted feeding system can potentially help a user with upper-body mobility impairments eat independently. However, autonomous assistance in the real world is challenging because of varying user preferences, impairment constraints, and ...

A Community-Centered Design Framework for Robot-Assisted Feeding Systems
ASSETS '19: Proceedings of the 21st International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and AccessibilityPages 482–494https://doi.org/10.1145/3308561.3353803Robot-assisted feeding (RAF) systems offer enormous potential benefits to community-centered care-giving environments. However, developers of RAF technologies often focus on evaluating their standard transactional functionality, omitting the impact of ...

Transfer depends on acquisition: analyzing manipulation strategies for robotic feeding
HRI '19: Proceedings of the 14th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionPages 267–276Successful robotic assistive feeding depends on reliable bite acquisition and easy bite transfer. The latter constitutes a unique type of robot-human handover where the human needs to use the mouth. This places a high burden on the robot to make the ...
