New Publication from PCS 

We are happy to share some insights on our new publication about multimodal feedback mechanisms in level-3 autonomous driving:

Reitmann, S.; Mihaylova, T.; Kritharoulas, D.; Peltola, E.; Topp, E.A.; Kyrki, V. Beep and Show, Don’t Tell: Multimodal Feedback Strategies for Driver-Automation Coordination in Critical Driving Situations. Computers 2026, 15, 516. https://doi.org/10.3390/computers15080516

Call for Papers! 

Together with partners from Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Germany, we are organizing a workshop on the topic “BESAFE: Beyond Physical Safety in Intelligent Robots” at the upcoming IEEE RO-MAN 2026 in Japan.

The submission deadline is June 19, 2026.
