Exploring Visual and Haptic Feedback Systems on User Performance with a Hand-Held Robot
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)While robotic systems allow users to maintain accuracy in high-precision environments, achieving intuitive control is challenging without real-time feedback. Haptic feedback, which communicates otherwise unfelt sensations ... -
Simulation-Based Reinforcement Learning Policy Optimization for Tactile Manipulation: A Case Study on the Eyesight Hand
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Robotic manipulation remains a complex and unsolved challenge due to the need for adaptability across diverse objects and tasks. In this work, we explore how to train effective manipulation policies using reinforcement ... -
Designer-User Validation of a Method for Predicting Cognitive Interventions for Sustainable Product Design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Life cycle assessments to measure the environmental impact of products is often limited by a lack of information about the use phase of a product. To aid this gap by encouraging sustainable user behavior from the early ...
