"What if AI could show you how to perform a physical task through your own body?" I am excited to share our latest #CHI2026 Best Paper where we demonstrate an Embodied-AI for physical tasks using muscle stimulation 🔗 embodied-ai.tech @yun_yh_ @plopesresearch

Text or video is not only form AI can take. In embodied-ai.tech (#CHI2026, Best Paper 🏆) we create an embodied AI that acts via muscle stimulation to perform physical tasks: e.g., place a bike on a bus rack and more! youtube.com/watch?v=pJM2Z8… by @yun_yh_ @romainnith

Very excited to see our work covered by @IEEESpectrum! I'm wondering if anyone tried to listen to the video's soundtrack more closely 🤔

Our #CHI2024 paper on "split body" is featured at @IEEESpectrum 's videos: spectrum.ieee.org/video-friday-m… This is a work by my PhD students @romainnith and @yun_yh_ that explores how muscle stimulation can help you multitask—freeing up your mind while the stimulation does the rest!

Absolute tour de force of a demo by @romainnith Yun Ho and Jacob Serfaty. Participants hands are automated by muscle stimulation to stir the waffle batter while they write an essay at the same time. Then, well, you get to eat your waffle! Come try it tomorrow + see the talk! 1/2

four new #chi2024 papers from our lab, demonstrated in one go: youtu.be/fQsMXy0dNk0 work by @_yudaitanaka (brain stimulation = haptics), @romainnith (multitasking with muscle stimulation), @tengshanyuan (more dexterity w/ electrotactile) & @alexjmazursky (liquid friction) 1/

New article about JumpMod (a project my PhD student @romainnith ) that creates a sense of vertical acceleration (e.g., jumping higher) at @engadget (engadget.com/the-jumpmod-ha…) apropos our demo at #SIGGRAPH2023 (starting tomorrow, come try it!)
