Tamon Toyooka, Sebastian Brulin, Lydia Fischer , "Urban EV Extension for electrical mobility with exchangeable batteries", HRI-EU, 2025.
AbstractThis article documents the extensions for the Urban EV package for MatSim towards electrical mobility with exchangeable batteries. The extension is demonstrated in for the Hamburg scenario which can use the following add items: battery exchange station, swappable batteries which dynamically change their state of charge, and electric vehicles with multiple swappable batteries....

Leigh Levinson, Manuel Dietrich, Alan Sarkisian, Selma Šabanović, William Smart , "Effective Engineering, Stakeholder Involvement, and Regulatory Plurality within Privacy-Aware Robotics", 20th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI 2025), 2025.
AbstractPrivacy is an important yet understudied focus in consideration of successful human-robot interaction (HRI). In this paper, we present a thematic analysis of the topics discussed in the Privacy-Aware Robotics Workshop held at the HRI Conference in 2024. The analysis points across the perspectives of User, Engineering, and Society with particular identification of open "interdisciplinary zones" at the intersections of these perspectives. Based o...

Atikkhan Faridkhan Nilgar, Manuel Dietrich, Kristof Van Laerhoven , "Privacy Perceptions in Robot-Assisted Well-Being Coaching: Examining the Roles of User Control, Information Transparency, and Proactivity", 2025 IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN), 2025.
AbstractSocial robots are increasingly recognized as valuable supporters in the field of well-being coaching. They can function as independent coaches or provide support alongside human coaches, and healthcare professionals. In coaching interactions, these robots often handle sensitive information shared by users, making privacy a relevant issue. Despite this, little is known about the factors that shape users' privacy perceptions. This research aims to ...

Matti Krüger, Daniel Tanneberg, Chao Wang, Stephan Hasler, Michael Gienger , "Mirror Eyes: Explainable Human-Robot Interaction at a Glance", 2025 34th IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN), 2025.
AbstractThe gaze of a person tends to reflect their interest. This work explores what happens when this statement is taken literally and applied to robots. Here we present a robot system that employs a moving robot head with a screen-based eye model that can direct the robot's gaze to points in physical space and present a reflection-like mirror image of the attended region on top of each eye. We conducted a user study with 33 participants who were...

Yu Fang and Matti Krüger , "Overcoming Social Perception Challenges in Nonverbal Human-Robot Communication", European Conference on Visual Perception, 2025.
AbstractHuman eyes serve both perceptual and expressive functions. Their orientation towards regions of interest underlies selective perception and thus simultaneously provides insights into spatial attention and intention in social perception. Eye contact is a fundamental cue in social perception, enabling attention exchange. Thus, the use of eye contact through artificial eye models is being explored as a communication tool in human-robot interaction. ...

Christiane Wiebel , "How to quantify (successful) human-AI cooperation?", Research Colloquium in the lab of "Interactive Robotics in Medicin and Healthcare" (Anna- Lisa Vollmer), Uni Bielefeld, 2025.
AbstractCooperation is omnipresent in nature, from simple organisms that live in symbiosis to the creation of complex human societies. Recent research in AI-driven technology has claimed that AI systems need to learn to engage in cooperative interactions with humans, as well, to be successfully adopted in the future (Dafoe, 2020, 2021). However, what counts as “successful” human-AI cooperation from the human perspective remains an open question. In th...

Tim Puphal, Vipul Ramtekkar, Kenji Nishimiya , "Risk-Based Filtering of Valuable Driving Situations in the Waymo Open Dataset", IEEE International Automated Vehicle Validation Conference (IAVVC), 2025.
AbstractEnsuring the safety of Automated Vehicles (AVs) requires extensive testing in a variety of challenging driving situations. However, most real-world driving data consists of routine, low-risk scenarios that offer limited value for AV testing. To address this, we propose a novel risk-based filtering approach that can automatically select valuable driving situations for testing AVs. Specifically, we use a probabilistic collision risk model to identi...

Lukas Hindemith, Christiane Wiebel, Heiko Wersing, Britta Wrede, Anna-Lisa Vollmer , "Improving HRI through robot architecture transparency", International Journal of Social Robotics , 2025.
AbstractIn recent years, an increased effort has been invested to improve the capabilities of robots. Nevertheless, human-robot interaction remains a complex field of application where errors occur frequently. The reasons for these errors can primarily be divided into two classes. Foremost, the recent increase in capabilities also widened possible sources of errors on the robot's side. This entails problems in the perception of the world, but also faulty...

Amine Tourki, Paul Prevel, Tim Puphal, Nils Einecke, Alexandre Alahi , "Probabilistic Collision Risk Estimation for Pedestrian Navigation", 2025 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2025.
AbstractIntelligent devices for supporting persons with vision impairment are becoming more widespread, but they are lacking behind the advancements in intelligent driver assistant system. To make a first step forward, this work discusses the integration of the risk model technology, previously used in autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems, into an assistance device for persons with vision impairment. The risk model computes a probabi...
