HapticBots introduces a novel encountered-type haptic approach for Virtual Reality (VR)
based on multiple tabletop-size shape-changing robots. These robots move on a tabletop …

RoomShift is a room-scale dynamic haptic environment for virtual reality, using a small
swarm of robots that can move furniture. RoomShift consists of nine shape-changing robots …

In this paper, we survey the emerging design space of expandable structures in robotics,
with a focus on how such structures may improve human-robot interactions. We detail …

Research efforts have previously explored various components of physical/virtual
workspaces that adaptively interact with knowledge workers in order to support them in their …

Current head-mounted displays enable users to explore virtual worlds by simply walking
through them (ie, real-walking VR). This led researchers to create haptic displays that can …

Inflatable systems have been attracting attention in the field of interaction design.
Conventional tabletop-sized pneumatic systems tend to be complex because they require …

We focus on the problem of simulating the haptic infrastructure of a virtual environment (ie
walls, doors). Our approach relies on multiple ZoomWalls---autonomous robotic encounter …

We propose WaddleWalls, a room-scale interactive partitioning system using a swarm of
robotic partitions that allows occupants to interactively reconfigure workspace partitions to …

We present AeroRigUI, an actuated tangible UI for 3D spatial embodied interaction. Using
strings controlled by self-propelled swarm robots with a reeling mechanism on ceiling …

We present STRAIDE, a string-actuated interactive display environment that allows to
explore the promising potential of shape-changing interfaces for casual visualizations. At the …
