Placing Virtual Humans into Complex Indoor Environments
Humans interact with their environment through contact. We leverage this insight to better place moving humans into complex, cluttered indoor scenes such that any actions in the humans motion is matched by the objects in the scene. For example, a sitting action will sit on a chair.
Multimodal Interfaces for Communicating Robot Learning
Robots learn as they interact with humans, but how do humans know what the robot has learned and when it needs teaching? We leverage information-rich augmented reality to passively visualize what the robot has inferred, and attention-grabbing haptic wristbands to actively prompt and direct the human’s teaching.
