Researchers in this area are exploring how we can use Augmented Reality to help people interaction properly with autonomous vehicles and whether it is possible to design a huggable robot as a comforter. This collaboration is part of the Multimodal Interaction Group and these researcher are supervised by Professor Steve Brewster.
