Towards Design Guidelines for Natural-Language-Based Human-Multi-Robot Collaboration in Domestic Environments

Xinyi Wang, Shao-Kang Hsia, Ziyi Liu, Chenfei Zhu, Zhengzhe Zhu, Xiyun Hu, Anastasia Kouvaras Ostrowski, Karthik Ramani
In Proceedings of the Extended Abstracts of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

As domestic robots become prevalent, households will involve multiple robots with different capabilities, requiring people to coordinate and collaborate with several robots daily. This demands understanding key human–multi-robot interaction that...

ARify: Leveraging Narrated Instructional Videos to Create Augmented Reality Tutorials for Procedural Tasks

ARify: Leveraging Narrated Instructional Videos to Create Augmented Reality Tutorials for Procedural Tasks

Xiyun Hu, Chenfei Zhu, Shao-Kang Hsia, Dizhi Ma, Rahul Jain, Karthik Ramani
In Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Augmented Reality (AR) tutorials enhance procedural task learning by providing situated, step-by-step guidance. Yet, creating such tutorials requires AR authoring expertise, posing a significant entry barrier. To lower this barrier, we introduce...

AgentCoach: LLM-Based Adaptive Coaching Feedback for Motor Skill Learning

Dizhi Ma, Jiakun Yu, Xinyi Wang, Xiyun Hu, Liang He, Sooyeon Jeong, Karthik Ramani
In Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

We present AgentCoach, an LLM-powered system that provides adaptive feedback for motor skill learning from tutorial videos. The system works by extracting key coaching points (CPs) and compiling CP-specific evaluators that map each cue to...

GesPrompt: Leveraging Co-Speech Gestures to Augment LLM-Based Interaction in Virtual Reality

Xiyun Hu, Dizhi Ma, Fengming He, Zhengzhe Zhu, Shao-Kang Hsia, Chenfei Zhu, Ziyi Liu, Karthik Ramani
In Proceedings of the 2025 ACM Designing Interactive Systems Conference

Large Language Model (LLM)-based copilots have shown great potential in Extended Reality (XR) applications. However, the user faces challenges when describing the 3D environments to the copilots due to the complexity of conveying spatial-temporal...
