Attendees are getting an immersive tour of the innovative Small Artifacts Lab today! Students are showcasing their groundbreaking research. The lab champions interactive technologies with personal, hands-on artifacts that are remarkably compact in form.

Heading to SF to attend #UIST2023! Can’t wait to meet old friends again and make new friends! Also check out Zeyu Yan, Liang He Hsuanling Lee’s new work, 3D Printing Magnetophoretic Display!

I am also seeking internship opportunities for the next summer! If you know any opening positions, please let me know! I am happy to chat!

Super happy to meet with all of you and we have a great time together! Lots of fun playing 🏓！

🎉Making headlines in Maryland Today – Dance Squared! 🤖💃Check out the super cool video where the human body turns into a playground for Calico robots! Big shoutout to Jonathan D Martin Bill Kules Adriane Fang and many more. youtu.be/QAyNIxWLHjc

New interdisciplinary art piece! Join us at The Clarice this Friday at 5 PM for DANCE², exploring on-body robots & tech's impact. Influence human & robotic dancers' choreography by voting from your phone! Jonathan D Martin Bill Kules Adriane Fang Jiasheng Li

♻️Ever frustrated by wasting functional SMD components from old prototypes because desoldering is too troublesome or simply not worth the effort? Our new SolderlessPCB project at CHI 24, led by my amazing student Zeyu Zeyu Yan, introduces an alternative way to make PCB

Assemble a PCB in "10s" without soldering and reuse all the components afterward;) Join Zeyu Yan 's #CHI2024 talk in Room 313C at 11 sharp. #SolderlessPCB has also received special recognition as the winner for Research with Potential for Sustainable Impact. Come and check it

Thank you! And really appreciated Ge’s nomination. Super excited to be awarded for HCIL Research Excellence! Thanks all my collaborators and friends!

♻️♻️♻️Zeyu Yan's work on sustainable and solderless PCB reached 1k downloads on the ACM library and 7k+ views on YouTube within 1 month of #CHI2024! For research that isn’t mainstream yet, it's pretty impressive! Congrats and super proud ;) dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…

Excited to present and demo my first first-author HCI paper at #UIST2024! 🎉 "JetUnit: Rendering Diverse Force Feedback in Virtual Reality using Water Jets" showcases how a compact, self-contained device delivers a wide range of force intensities & frequencies. 🌊Come try it out!

One more project from our lab;) Zining is now the official ‘water’ magician, creating both intense and subtle haptics with a single tactor and water jet. Zining Zhang thx also goes to our amazing Jun Nishida and Zeyu Yan Jiasheng Li #UIST2024

.Univ. of Maryland researchers unveil #JetUnit, a haptic tech that could aid blind users with force feedback cues for spatial navigation, enhancing accessibility. Project leader Zining Zhang from the #SMARTLab, presented it at #UIST2024. Read more: go.umd.edu/SMART11-24

Thx for everyone coming to my talk, and thanks for the helping and supporting Huaishu Peng and Yuhang Zhao . Also appreciated all my lab mates’ help Zining Zhang Zeyu Yan and all my lovely participants~

A #HRI2025 study by JHU computer scientists (+ Jiasheng Li, Huaishu Peng, Anastasia Kouvaras Ostrowski, & more) uses co-designing w/ older adults (see their brainstorming process below!) to explore the potential applications of on-body robots for older adults.

Dance with a robot 🤖? One that moves on your body 💃? And is controlled by hundreds of people at once 📱? I’ll be presenting our recent work at #dis2025 today at 3: "Cybernetic Marionette: Channeling Collective Agency Through a Wearable Robot in a Live Dancer–Robot Duet," on

Supported by TRAILS, Huaishu Peng (Huaishu Peng), Ge Gao, Jiasheng Li (Jiasheng Li) and Cornell Information Science's Malte Jung are building wearable AI to turn nonverbal cues—like nods and gestures—into touch and audio signals to improve communication between blind individuals and their

A valuable project from our UMD Science, @UMIACS and UMD College of Information researchers to use wearable AI to enrich communication for people with visual impairments. go.umd.edu/20q4
