It’s Not UAV, It’s Me: Demographic and Self-Other Effects in Public Acceptance of a Socially Assistive Aerial Manipulation System for Fatigue Management (2023)
Journal Article
Li, J., & Ensafjoo, M. (2024). It’s Not UAV, It’s Me: Demographic and Self-Other Effects in Public Acceptance of a Socially Assistive Aerial Manipulation System for Fatigue Management. International Journal of Social Robotics, 16, 227-243. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12369-023-01072-3

Modern developments in speech-enabled drones and aerial manipulation systems (AMS) enable drones to have social interactions with people, which is important for therapeutic applications involving flight and above-eye-level monitoring in people’s home...

Weakness exploitation: Predicting socially communicative devices as a successor to internet-based graphical user interfaces (2023)
Journal Article
Li, J., & Chignell, M. (2023). Weakness exploitation: Predicting socially communicative devices as a successor to internet-based graphical user interfaces. Explorations in Media Ecology, 22(1), 49–74. https://doi.org/10.1386/eme_00150_1

Existing theories of technology transitions cannot predict what new technological paradigm will supplant the currently leading, internet-enabled graphical user interface paradigm. This article introduces a preliminary approach (‘weakness exploitation...

The Evolution of HCI and Human Factors: Integrating Human and Artificial Intelligence (2023)
Journal Article
Chignell, M., Wang, L., Zare, A., & Li, J. (2023). The Evolution of HCI and Human Factors: Integrating Human and Artificial Intelligence. ACM transactions on computer-human interaction, 30(2), Article 17. https://doi.org/10.1145/3557891

We review HCI history from both the perspective of its 1980s split with human factors and its nature as a discipline. We then revisit human augmentation as an alternative to user friendliness that seems particularly relevant in the areas of inclusive...

Fleets on the streets: How number, affiliation and purpose of shared-lane automated vehicle convoys influence public perception and blame (2023)
Journal Article
Gilbert, T. K., Qu, N. Z., Ju, W., & Li, J. (2023). Fleets on the streets: How number, affiliation and purpose of shared-lane automated vehicle convoys influence public perception and blame. Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 93, 294-308. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2023.01.013

Automated vehicles (AVs) may have broad uses in society, but some applications may be more acceptable than others. Determining contexts in which AVs can acceptably operate is a substantial challenge for policy makers. In an online YouGov survey (N =...

Design of a Social Media Voice Assistant for Older Adults (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, J., Qu, N. Z., & Penaranda Valdivia, K. (2022, December). Design of a Social Media Voice Assistant for Older Adults. Presented at International Conference on Social Robotics 2022, Florence, Italy

Older adults can increase their social cohesion and belongingness by accessing social media content. Voice is a particularly suitable modality for older adults. While general voice design guidelines for social media content exist, past work has not i... Read More about Design of a Social Media Voice Assistant for Older Adults.
