Sculptable Mesh Structures for Large-Scale Form-Finding

This paper introduces a user-adjustable, room-scale, "shape-aware" mesh structure for low-fidelity prototyping, which a user physically manipulates by lengthening and shortening the edges, altering the overall curvature and sculpting coarse forms.

Towards Unobtrusive Physical AI: Augmenting Everyday Objects with Intelligence and Robotic Movement for Proactive Assistance

This paper introduces an architecture that leverages large language models to perceive users’ environment and activities, perform spatial-temporal reasoning, and generate object actions aligned with inferred user intentions and object properties, and demonstrates the system’s utility providing proactive assistance with multiple objects and in various daily scenarios.

Transforming Everyday Objects into Dynamic Interfaces using Smart Flat-Foldable Structures

This paper designs an actuation system to integrate as a self-contained locomotion layer into existing objects that are small-scale, i.e., hand-size rather than furniture-size, and decomposes the actuation into energy input and steering to achieve a flat form factor.

Towards Fluent Interaction with Cyber-Physical Architecture

A series of speculative design workshops that uncovered aspirational visions for human-robot interaction for architectural-scale, shape-changing environments and a task-based Wizard-of-Oz elicitation study that suggests the need for a modality-agnostic model of evolving user intent.
