A fundamental challenge in human-robot interaction is that capabilities and limitations are often opaque to users.
In our upcoming #HRI2026 paper, X-OOHRI, led by the brilliant Lauren Wang, we use AR to make robot capabilities and limits visible during object-oriented interactions 🤖

Today, the New Jersey Legislature will return to Nassau Hall at Princeton University, once again gathering where it first met in 1776. This year, as we mark 250 years of our nation and Legislature, we’re reminded that democracy is not a chapter in a history book, it is a living promise.
