Virtual reality and psHRI

Virtual reality and psHRI

(2025-Present) Virtual reality is a powerful tool to achieve contextually-rich interactions while maintaining a low-cost environment for studying psHRI.

Robot-to-Human (R2H) Grasping

Robot-to-Human (R2H) Grasping

(2023-Present) How and where a robot grasps a human may elicit different emotional responses from the human. What are the key factors and how can robots deliberately exploit these emotional responses to achieve a desired reaction?
