Translanguaging as an agentive pedagogy for multilingual learners: affordances and constraints
International Journal of Multilingualism, 2021Translanguaging offers a new perspective on language learning by affirming and leveraging the diverse language practices that make up learners’ unitary language repertoire as resources for their learning.

Neutral affordances: Task conflict in the affordances task
Consciousness and Cognition, 2022Task conflict emerges when a stimulus triggers two or more competing tasks. To date, task conflict has been studied mainly using the color-word Stroop task. We hypothesized that task conflict also emerges in the affordances task between the goal-directed relevant task (e.g., classifying manipulable objects such as cups and pots), and the automatic ...

Our final goal is to utilise a cognition viewpoint for the engineering of a better design of human communication tools. In this paper, we extend the concept of affordance to cover human-to-human communication and propose the novel concept of 'human affordance', which is afforded from humans, not artefacts. As one possible utilisation of the concept, we

RT-Affordance: Affordances are Versatile Intermediate Representations for Robot Manipulation
IEEE International Conference on Robotics and AutomationWe explore how intermediate policy representations can facilitate generalization by providing guidance on how to perform manipulation tasks. Existing representations such as language, goal images, and trajectory sketches have been shown to be helpful ...

Characterising affordances: The descriptions-of-affordances-model
Design Studies, 2012Artefacts offer opportunities for action, ‘affordances’, that can be described on various levels, from manipulations (‘pushing a button’) to social activities (‘dialling a friend’). However, research in design into affordances has not investigated what an ‘action’ is, nor has it distinguished those levels.

Affordances elude ontology. They have been recognized to play a role in categorization, especially of artifacts, but also of natural features. Yet, attempts to ontologize them face problems ranging from their presumed subjective nature to the fact that they involve potential actions, not objects or properties.

Framework of Affordances for Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality
Journal of Management Information Systems, 2019Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies continue to grow and present possibilities to change the ways we learn, accomplish tasks, and interact with the world.

Affordances are a central concept of J.J. Gibson's approach to visual perception. We describe and discuss the concept of affordances with a brief look at its application to robotics, as well as provide an overview of several existing formalizations.

Affording Affordance Moral Realism
Biological Theory, 2020In this article I elaborate a scientifically based moral realism that I call affordance moral realism, and I offer a promissory note that affordance moral realism is the best current explanation of morality. Affordance moral realism maintains that morality is constituted by the interaction of moral agents and moral affordances.

kPAM: KeyPoint Affordances for Category-Level Robotic Manipulation
International Symposium of Robotics Research, 2019We would like robots to achieve purposeful manipulation by placing any instance from a category of objects into a desired set of goal states. Existing manipulation pipelines typically specify the desired configuration as a target 6-DOF pose and rely on ...
