Best-paper recognition for the guide-dog robot work

Created on August 28, 2024

Two pieces of good news from the guide-dog robot project, both led by Hochul Hwang:

  • “Is It Safe to Cross? Interpretable Risk Assessment with GPT-4V for Safety-Aware Street Crossing” was named a Best Paper Finalist at UR 2024 (co-authors Sunjae Kwon and Yekyung Kim).
  • A few months earlier, “Towards Robotic Companions: Understanding Handler–Guide Dog Interactions for Informed Guide Dog Robot Design” received a Best Paper Award at CHI 2024.

Congratulations to Hochul for leading both efforts. See the publications page for the papers.
