When interacting with each other, humans adjust their behavior based on perceived trust. To achieve similar adaptability, robots must accurately estimate human trust at sufficiently granular timescales while collaborating with humans. Beta reputation is a popular way to formalize a mathematical esti…
Recent advancements in computer vision have accelerated the development of autonomous driving. Despite these advancements, training machines to drive in a way that aligns with human expectations remains a significant challenge. Human factors are still essential, as humans possess a sophisticated cog
Out-of-Distribution (OOD) detection requires accurately classifying In-Distribution (ID) samples while effectively distinguishing anomalous OOD data. However, existing methodologies predominantly rely on real-valued magnitude features, neglecting the semantic richness embedded in phase information, …

The Rating Scale method has been long deemed the standard for measuring subjective perceptions. However, in the field of physical human-robot collaboration (pHRC), its aptness should be put under scrutiny due to inherent challenges such as response bias, between-subject variations, and the granulari…
The creation of a spatial sound scene through binaural rendering draws increasing research interest, given the rising application of virtual reality and augmented reality. High-fidelity augmented reality audio requires accurate room acoustic simulation. Typically, this is achieved with binaural rend…
The translation of brain dynamics into natural language is pivotal for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), a field that has seen substantial growth in recent years. With the swift advancement of large language models, such as ChatGPT, the need to bridge the gap between the brain and languages becomes…
Role arbitration in human-robot collaboration (HRC) is a dynamically changing process that is affected by many factors such as physical workload, environmental changes and trust. In order to address this dynamic process, a trust-based role arbitration method is studied in this research. A computatio…
Trust is key to achieving successful Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). Besides trust of the human co-worker in the robot, trust of the robot in its human co-worker should also be considered. A computational model of a robot’s trust in its human co-worker for physical human-robot collaboration (p
In physical human-robot collaboration (pHRC), singularity avoidance strategies are often critical to obtain stable interaction dynamics. It is hypothesised a predictable singularity avoidance strategy is preferred in pHRC as humans tend to maximise predictability when using complex systems. By using…
Learning from demonstration (LfD) is an intuitive teaching technology without extensive programming for an operator. In recent LfD research, machine vision is usually used to capture the human-robot interaction. However, it's not reliable during the machining process. In this letter, a novel intuiti
Physical Human-Robot Collaboration (pHRC) is about the interaction between one or more human operator(s) and one or more robot(s) in direct contact and voluntarily exchanging forces to accomplish a common task. In any pHRC, the intuitiveness of the interaction has always been a priority, so that the…
