Achieving Meaningful Collaboration: Worker-centered Design of a Physical Human-Robot Collaborative Blending Task
The use of robots in industrial settings continues to grow, driven by the need to address complex societal challenges such as labor shortages, aging populations, and ever-increasing production demands. In this abstract, we advocate for (and demonstrate) a transdisciplinary approach when considering robotics in the workplace. Transdisciplinarity emphasizes the integration of academic research with pragmatic expertise and embodied experiential knowledge, that prioritize values such as worker well…

ResearStudio: A Human-Intervenable Framework for Building Controllable Deep-Research Agents
Current deep-research agents run in a ''fire-and-forget'' mode: once started, they give users no way to fix errors or add expert knowledge during execution. We present ResearStudio, the first open-source framework that places real-time human control at its core. The system follows a Collaborative Workshop design. A hierarchical Planner-Executor writes every step to a live ''plan-as-document,'' a fast communication layer streams each action, file change, and tool call to a web interface. At any …

I love how simple Kitten’s Streaming HTML workflow makes building features like this, especially when using class-based Kitten pages and components :)

Generative AI and Firm Productivity: Field Experiments in Online Retail
We quantify the impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) on firm productivity through a series of large-scale randomized field experiments involving millions of users and products at a leading cross-border online retail platform. Over six months in 2023-2024, GenAI-based enhancements were integrated into seven consumer-facing business workflows. We find that GenAI adoption significantly increases sales, with treatment effects ranging from 0\% to 16.3\%, depending on GenAI's marginal…

Zero-Shot Large Language Model Agents for Fully Automated Radiotherapy Treatment Planning
Radiation therapy treatment planning is an iterative, expertise-dependent process, and the growing burden of cancer cases has made reliance on manual planning increasingly unsustainable, underscoring the need for automation. In this study, we propose a workflow that leverages a large language model (LLM)-based agent to navigate inverse treatment planning for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The LLM agent was implemented to directly interact with a clinical treatment planning system…

Disappointed but not surprised. Too many churches are like this, supposedly because of being scammed in the past. But there's nothing in the bible about holding the actions of one person against another person.

Sleeping on the job used to be frowned upon.
But a Pew Research Center survey found that 34% of Americans take daily naps.
According to experts, 30 minutes or less of catnapping can “restore alertness, enhance performance and reduce mistakes and accidents” in the workplace.
In the 1960s, President John F. Kennedy caught some extra z’s in early afternoon to keep up his stride.
And NASA pilots take in-flight naps as short as 26 minutes to enhance performance and alertn…

Photographic Conviviality: A Synchronic and Symbiotic Photographic Experience through a Body Paint Workshop
This study explores "Photo Tattooing," merging photography and body ornamentation, and introduces the concept of "Photographic Conviviality." Using our instant camera that prints images onto mesh screens for immediate body art, we examine how this integration affects personal expression and challenges traditional photography. Workshops revealed that this fusion redefines photography's role, fostering intimacy and shared experiences, and opens new avenues for self-expression by transforming stat…
