Real-time Batched Distance Computation for Time-Optimal Safe Path Tracking
In human-robot collaboration, there has been a trade-off relationship between the speed of collaborative robots and the safety of human workers. In our previous paper, we introduced a time-optimal path tracking algorithm designed to maximize speed while ensuring safety for human workers. This algorithm runs in real-time and provides the safe and fastest control input for every cycle with respect to ISO standards. However, true optimality has not been achieved due to inaccurate distance computat…

“… managers using RTO mandates to reassert control over employees and blame employees as a scapegoat for bad firm performance”

RTO doesn’t improve company value, but does make employees miserable: Study
Data is consistent with bosses using RTO to reassert control and scapegoat workers.

“…after [a Return to Office (RTO)] mandate, employees' ratings significantly declined on overall job satisfaction, work-life balance, senior management, and corporate culture.”

The Role of Inclusion, Control, and Ownership in Workplace AI-Mediated Communication
Given large language models' (LLMs) increasing integration into workplace software, it is important to examine how biases in the models may impact workers. For example, stylistic biases in the language suggested by LLMs may cause feelings of alienation and result in increased labor for individuals or groups whose style does not match. We examine how such writer-style bias impacts inclusion, control, and ownership over the work when co-writing with LLMs. In an online experiment, participants wro…

Public defenders, foster kids, climate: Programs created during California’s boom may stall amid deficit
Just a few years ago, California’s budget was overflowing with a record high surplus, spurring the creation of a slew of new programs reflecting the state’s liberal ideals.
Democrats who control the state Capitol funded pilots to test new ways to support foster youth, help oil workers transition to cleaner industries and prevent more Californians from becoming homeless

California may cut many new programs due to massive budget gap
Facing tough financial choices to close a budget shortfall, Gov. Gavin Newsom is proposing cuts to programs that benefit foster kids, public defenders and more

Gesture-Controlled Aerial Robot Formation for Human-Swarm Interaction in Safety Monitoring Applications
This paper presents a formation control approach for contactless gesture-based Human-Swarm Interaction (HSI) between a team of multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and a human worker. The approach is intended for monitoring the safety of human workers, especially those working at heights. In the proposed dynamic formation scheme, one UAV acts as the leader of the formation and is equipped with sensors for human worker detection and gesture recognition. The follower UAVs maintain a predet…

LabelAId: Just-in-time AI Interventions for Improving Human Labeling Quality and Domain Knowledge in Crowdsourcing Systems
Crowdsourcing platforms have transformed distributed problem-solving, yet quality control remains a persistent challenge. Traditional quality control measures, such as prescreening workers and refining instructions, often focus solely on optimizing economic output. This paper explores just-in-time AI interventions to enhance both labeling quality and domain-specific knowledge among crowdworkers. We introduce LabelAId, an advanced inference model combining Programmatic Weak Supervision (PWS) wit…
