| 2026 | TactDeform: Finger Pad Deformation Inspired Spatial Tactile Feedback for Virtual Geometry ExplorationabstractSpatial tactile feedback can enhance the realism of geometry exploration in virtual reality applications. Current vibrotactile approaches often face challenges with the spatial and temporal resolution needed to render different 3D geometries. Inspired by the natural deformation of finger pads when exploring 3D objects and surfaces, we propose TactDeform, a parametric approach to render spatio-temporal tactile patterns using a finger-worn electro-tactile interface. The system dynamically renders electro-tactile patterns based on both interaction contexts (approaching, contact, and sliding) and geometric contexts (geometric features and textures), emulating deformations that occur during real-world touch exploration. Results from a user study \rr{(N=24)} show that the proposed approach enabled high texture discrimination and geometric feature identification compared to a baseline. Informed by results from a free 3D-geometry exploration phase, we provide insights that can inform future tactile interface designs. Yihao Dong, Praneeth Bimsara Perera, Chin-Teng Lin, Craig T.

| 2026 | SRL Proxemics: Spatial Guidelines for Supernumerary Robotic Limbs in Near-Body InteractionsabstractWearable supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs) sit at the intersection of human augmentation and embodied AI, promising to function as extensions of the human body. However, their movements within the intimate near-body space raise unresolved challenges for perceived safety, user control, and trust. In this paper, we present results from a Wizard-of-Oz study (n=18), where participants completed near-body collaboration tasks with SRLs to explore these challenges. We collected qualitative data through think-aloud protocols and semi-structured interviews, complemented by physiological signals and post-task ratings. Findings indicate that greater autonomy did not inherently enhance perceived safety or trust. Instead, participants identified near-body zones and paired them with clear coordination rules. They also expressed expectations for how different arm components should behave, shaping preferences around autonomy, perceived safety, and trust. Building on these insights, we introduce SRL Proxemics, a zone- and segment-level design framework showing that autonomy is not monolithic: perceived safety hinges on spatially calibrated, legible behaviors, not on autonomy level alone.

| 2023 | An Answer Summarization Scheme Based on Multilayer Attention ModelabstractAt present, deep learning technologies have been widely used in the field of natural language process, such as text summarization. In CQA, the answer summary could help users get a complete answer quickly. There are still some problems with the current answer summary scheme, such as semantic inconsistency, repetition of words, etc. In order to solve this, we propose a novel scheme Answer Summarization based on Multi-layer Attention Scheme (ASMAM). Based on the traditional Seq2Seq, we introduce self-attention and multi-head attention scheme respectively during sentence and text encoding, which could improve text representation ability of the model. In order to solve "long distance dependence" of RNN and too many parameters of LSTM, we all use GRU as the neuron at the encoder and decoder sides. Experiments over the Yahoo! Answers dataset demonstrate that the coherence and fluency of the generated summary are all superior to the benchmark model in ROUGE evaluation system. Xiaolong Xu 0002, Yihao Dong |
