Underwater robot development is often hindered by the complexities of waterproofing and wiring, which significantly delay the rapid prototyping process. This paper presents MarineCraft, a modular toolkit designed to accelerate the development cycle through structural reconfiguration. The system features self-contained,...
This work advances SPI research from static images to dynamic videos and ensures more comprehensive scenario coverage during benchmarking with RobotEQ-Video, a hierarchical world-state taxonomy organized into a four-level coarse-to-fine structure.

Service applications for human-robot interaction are commonly written against the hardware-specific interfaces of one platform, so a change of hardware forces a rewrite of the application. The Robotic Interaction Service (RoIS) Framework 2.0, standardized by the Object Management Group (OMG), addresses this fragmentati...

The growing elderly population gives rise to an urgent need for intelligent support systems, particularly for individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). This paper presents PV-Care, a proactive AI-driven assistance scheme that integrates wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) sensing with visual environmental perce...

People increasingly seek mental health support from large language models, yet little is known about their use across years of recurrent panic. We present a three-year analytic autoethnography of the first author's ChatGPT use while living with panic disorder, drawing on conversations, personal records, and accounts fr...
As more of everyday life takes place online, digital behavior may provide a potential window into how depressive symptoms are reflected in daily life. Yet digital mental health studies have produced mixed findings. These inconsistencies may partly reflect how digital behavior is measured: self reported use, single devi...

Hand tracking offers natural VR interaction but lacks controllers'inherent tactile feedback, while haptic feedback across input methods remains understudied. We conducted a participant study comparing vibration, impulse, and no feedback in hand- and controller-based VR interaction across grasp-, pinch-, and tap-like ge...

Gratitude technologies support well-being by prompting reflection on what people appreciate. But gratitude does not serve the same purpose in every circumstance: as life situations change, so does what people seek from it, and whether it feels appropriate at all. To understand how technology can adapt to and support su...

Previous research suggests that the congruency between common VR input devices - such as controllers or hand tracking - and their visual representations (e.g., hand or controller avatars) influences user experience and performance. However, the specific effects of input-avatar combinations remain underexplored. We stud...

Computational notebooks make problem-solving visible, but typically only one notebook at a time. Meanwhile, in data science platforms like Kaggle, one competition can accumulate hundreds of notebooks. Effective collection-level analysis requires characterizing recurring solution patterns across all notebooks, as well a...

Students in MIT’s Concourse program delve deeply into the human condition, debate challenging questions, and learn to develop judgment about issues that can’t be quantified.
Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity. The post What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us appeared first on Microsoft Research.
