"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

embodied-ai.tech Embodied-AI for General Physical Assistance Using Muscle Stimulation A physical AI system that provides users with electrical muscle stimulation for general-purpose physical assistance, constrained by embodied knowledge.

Pedro Lopes @plopesresearch Mar 20

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!

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!

We will be presenting this paper on Tuesday at 9:45am in 313B! Please join! If you haven't tried it yet, we also have 2 more demo sessions on Tuesday: 10:15-11:00am and 5:30-7:30pm

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

Just landed in Hawaii and I'm excited to present my latest paper SplitBody at #CHI2024! We also have a demo, come try it out on Monday or just say hi :)

Pedro Lopes @plopesresearch May 11, 2024

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/

Join us tomorrow @siggraph! I am super excited to demo JumpMod again :D

Pedro Lopes @plopesresearch Aug 5, 2023

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!)
