Design and Evaluation of a Collaborative Teleoperation Interface for Multi-Operator Multi-Robot Systems in Challenging Environments

Multi-robot systems that combine the complementary capabilities of specialised platforms are critical for complex missions in challenging, inaccessible environments. Current deployments assign an operator or operator team to each robot, with collaboration relying on operator-to-operator communication to manually coordi...

sGLP: Specifying Stochastic Agents that Simulate People

Grassroots platforms are designed to be owned, operated and governed by their participants, and thus are constituted from person-to-person smartphone apps that run on participants' smartphones. A grassroots app is specified using a grassroots social contract, which is compiled through an abstraction cascade into a voli...

Defective, Amplified, Contested: Folk Conceptualizations of AI Slop

AI slop has flooded social media feeds with overprocessed and derivative content--Jesus fusing with a shrimp, a humanoid orange chubby cat shoplifting, and a "hero" dog rescuing a human child after a plane crash. This might be no laughing matter, as waves of media coverage have taken a distinctly negative bent, emphasi...

An Edge-First Multimodal Asset Management Studio and Retrieval Engine for Heterogeneous AI-Generated Media

AI-generated image collections combine visual content with heterogeneous provenance such as prompts, model parameters, and workflow graphs. Managing these collections locally requires coordinated metadata extraction, responsive browsing, and retrieval without mandatory remote inference. We present Berry AI Studio, an e...

What Human-AI Interaction Leaves Behind: Residual Human States -- A Trajectory-Based Framework and Multi-Study Analysis

Human-AI Interaction is commonly evaluated by what an artificial agent enables during use, yet interaction can also alter the human who acts next. We introduce Residual Human States, a trajectory-based framework for representing the potentially multidimensional human state carried forward after interaction with AI, rel...

Bio-Inspired Electrotactile Feedback: A Framework and Impacts of Multimodal Cues

Electrotactile stimulation, as a haptic feedback method, often struggles to evoke high-quality natural sensations. Consequently, despite its practical advantages, it is generally less preferred in human-machine systems than mechanical approaches. In this paper, we propose a bio-inspired stimulation framework that gener...

Communicating Uncertainty in AI-Supported Nurse Scheduling: Expert Co-Design and Evaluation of an Explainable AI Prototype

Nurse scheduling is a complex optimization problem in which nurses are assigned to shifts to meet staffing demands while complying with working-time limits, qualification requirements, and other operational and regulatory constraints. Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to support this process by forecas...

From Mind Mapping to Dream Interpretation: Understanding Muslim Users' Engagement with GenAI Tools in Religious Context

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools are increasingly integrated into everyday life, including sensitive domains such as religion. Prior works examined alignment with religious values and discussed the potential risks. However, to gain empirical insights into the adoption of these tools in users' religious...

Understanding the "Why": Investigating the Design of Privacy Support Tools (PSTs) through the Lens of Psychological Needs

Privacy Support Tools (PSTs) help users control their digital data, but face low adoption due to resignation and overwhelm. While current regulations aim to enhance privacy control, users still struggle to manage their privacy. To address this, we explore how PSTs can be designed for long-term adoption by applying the...

Exploring Object Recall in an Object-Rich AR Office Scene

Augmented reality (AR) changes how users perceive and attend to their surroundings. Prior work suggests AR can reduce attention to the physical world, but it remains unclear whether this holds in environments dense with both virtual and physical objects, and which factors most affect object recall. This study examines...

InSight: A Mobile Assistant Helping Visually Impaired People Navigate Unfamiliar Environment

Navigating unfamiliar outdoor environments is one of the most demanding everyday tasks for people with visual impairments (PVI). However, existing navigation systems cannot simultaneously satisfy the needs of informative perception and precise localization during navigation. This paper explores the core navigation dema...

Human Situational Awareness and Workload during Heterogeneous Autonomous Vehicle Hazard Monitoring: A Cross-Platform Study

As autonomous ground and aerial vehicles become increasingly capable, human operators are transitioning from direct control to supervisory monitoring roles. Maintaining Situational Awareness (SA) during rare but safety critical hazard events remains a fundamental challenge, particularly when operators must monitor hete...

Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…

Q&A: How AI came to model the “messy” human mind

Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
