How Does Delegation in Social Interaction Evolve Over Time? Navigation with a Robot for Blind People

Autonomy and independent navigation are vital to daily life but remain challenging for individuals with blindness. Robotic systems can enhance mobility and confidence by providing intelligent navigation assistance. However, fully autonomous systems may reduce users’ sense of control, even when they wish to remain acti…

Robot-Assisted Group Tours for Blind People

Group interactions are essential to social functioning, yet effective engagement relies on the ability to recognize and interpret visual cues, making such engagement a significant challenge for blind people. In this paper, we investigate how a mobile robot can support group interactions for blind people. We used the s…

Beyond Omakase: Designing Shared Control for Navigation Robots with Blind People

Autonomous navigation robots can increase the independence of blind people but often limit user control—following what is called in Japanese an "omakase" approach where decisions are left to the robot. This research investigates ways to enhance user control in social robot navigation, based on two studies conducted wi…

WanderGuide: Indoor Map-less Robotic Guide for Exploration by Blind People

Blind people have limited opportunities to explore an environment based on their interests. While existing navigation systems could provide them with surrounding information while navigating, they have limited scalability as they require preparing prebuilt maps. Thus, to develop a map-less robot that assists blind peo…
