Rishabh Madan is also presenting his work today at The HRI Conference #HRI2024 on robot-assisted bed-bathing. In this work, Rishabh and team used realistic caregiving practices to bed-bathe users including a user with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This involves perceiving transparent

And, we won the Best Demo Award as well! So proud of my students Rajat Kumar Jenamani Ziang Liu and collaborators at UW, Ethan K Gordon and Amal Nanavati, all of whom were demoing the entire system live and feeding people The HRI Conference #HRI2024 in the exhibition hall :-)

Time for #ICRA2024 :-) The EmPRISE Lab EmPRISE Lab will present two papers on (1) an one-armed robot-assisted peeling system (Wednesday: WeBT13-AX.4) and (2) a soft and stretchable whole-arm sensing skin for physical human-robot interaction (Tuesday: TuCT16-AX.8). In addition, we

Also, check out Priya’s tweet, which shows exciting videos of FLAIR in action! 💫

FLAIR is our most recent work on robot-assisted feeding where we are able to acquire in-the-wild real meals (DoorDash orders, homemade meals, prepared grocery store meals) while catering to a wide variety of user preferences. We have tested FLAIR across 2 different institutions

Excited to share FLAIR, a robot-assisted feeding system that can feed in-the-wild meals ordered from DoorDash 🍝 FLAIR is tested across multiple robots (Kinova & Franka arms). Wonderful collaboration with Tapomayukh "Tapo" Bhattacharjee's group. Rajat Kumar Jenamani & Priya Sundaresan will present at #RSS2024

Six years ago I wrote a post on "Lessons from My First Two Years of AI Research." I got a lot of nice feedback and messages from people over the years saying that it helped. Now that I've finished another career chapter, I've added a few more lessons: tomsilver.github.io/blog/2024/less…

🚨 Call for Papers: Physical Caregiving Robots Workshop 🚨 📍 HRI 2025 | Melbourne, Australia 🌏🦘 📄 Submit a 2-page extended abstract on topics related to Physical Caregiving Robots 🔗 Key Links: Website: caregivingrobots.github.io Register interest: forms.gle/JAur9YyV7hiRvz…

Towards deployable physical caregiving robots! 🍽️🚀 Looking forward to a feast of ideas at the HRI Pioneers workshop—where cool research is always on the menu. See you in Melbourne! 🦘

Meet the kiri-spoon, a utensil developed by #VirginiaTech researchers to assist those with limited mobility. 🙌 Developed in collaboration with Cornell University, the kiri-spoon can both grasp like a fork and scoop like a spoon.

How can a caregiving robot with limited torque help people with mobility limitations and older adults transfer from a hospital bed to their wheelchair? Check out Ruolin Ye's work at HRI The HRI Conference: CART-MPC: Coordinating Assistive Devices for Robot-Assisted Transferring

Sometimes the right thing for a robot to do is ask, but only when it doesn’t add too much workload for the user. Excited to share this super fun project with Rohan Banerjee and team, an #ICRA2025 best paper finalist! 🥳

Excited to share our work on continual, flexible, active, and safe robot personalization w/ Tom Silver, Ziang Liu, Ben Dodson & Tapomayukh "Tapo" Bhattacharjee. Also: Tom Silver is starting a lab at Princeton!! I HIGHLY recommend joining — thoughtful, kind, and an absolute joy to work with!
