Fabrics are seen as the foundation for e-textile interfaces but contribute their own tactile properties to interaction. We examine the role of fabrics in gestural interaction from a novel, textile-focused view. We rep...

With robots increasingly collaborating with humans in everyday tasks, it is important to take steps toward robotic systems capable of understanding the environment. This work focuses on scene understanding to detect pick-and-place tasks given initial and final images from the scene. To this end, a dataset is collected for object detection and pick-and-place task detection. A YOLOv5 network is subsequently trained to detect the objects in the initial and final scenes. Given the detected objects and their bounding boxes, two methods are proposed to detect the pick-and-place tasks which transform the initial scene into the final scene. A geometric method is proposed which tracks objects' movements in the two scenes and works based on the intersection of the bounding boxes which moved within scenes. Contrarily, the CNN-based method utilizes a Convolutional Neural Network to classify objects with intersected bounding boxes into 5 classes, showing the spatial relationship between the involved objects. The performed pick-and-place tasks are then derived from analyzing the experiments with both scenes. Results show that CNN-based method, by VGG-16 backbone, outscores the geometric method by roughly 12% in certain scenarios, with an overall success rate of 84.3%.

Handwriting practising, as any other repetitive task, often leads the practiser to an overconcentration state where their performance might be affected by postural and mental fatigue. Short breaks to perform unrelated activities, especially relaxation exercises, have shown to be a simple alternative to soften or postpone this phenomenon. Therefore, in this paper we are investigating the immediate effects of different types of short-duration relaxation exercises in the handwriting and posture of children aged from 8 to 10 in handwriting training. We divided 40 children in two groups performing the sessions, guided by a social robot, with small exercises of mindfulness or stretching in the middle of their training. Additionally, we analysed participants’ perceptions towards the robot leading these interactions. Results showed improvements in participants’ handwriting quality and posture maintenance regardless of the condition. Additionally, more positive feedback about the pause was reported from individuals in the mindfulness condition.

Multi-user collaboration at research and development (R&D) workbenches in advanced optics laboratories involves updating and documenting the status of hundreds of components. Although there are abundant mixed reality (MR) systems to support the collaboration of spatially co-located users, limited methods are available to facilitate cooperation in the spatial-temporal domain. Inspired by the version control workflow used in software development, we propose RealityGit, a novel cross-reality (CR) system design that leverages the recent advancements of neural radiance fields (NeRF). We illustrate how the NeRF model can be used to channel users with different extended reality (XR) experiences by providing an accurate immersive visual documentation of the historical states of a complex R&D workbench. We demonstrate the feasibility of such a system through an implementation where users could contribute to the version control workflows by integrating historical NeRF scans into their MR devices or providing status reviews by annotating or editing a NeRF model in virtual reality (VR).
