Although a physical office must satisfy different needs under various scenarios with limited space, the lack of flexibility in furniture designs prevents dynamic space management. We propose a self-actuated stretchable partition whose physical height, width, and position can dynamically change to create secure workplaces (e.g., against privacy and infectious risks) without inhibiting group collaboration. To support secure workplace layouts and space reconfigurations, the partitions\u2019 height, length, and position are adapted automatically and dynamically. We implement a proof-of concept prototype with a height-adjustable stand, a roll-up screen, and a mobile robot. We then show some example application scenarios to discuss potential future actuated-territorial offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class='youtube-player' width='1170' height='659' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LCCvpnw1tEw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=ja&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;' sandbox='allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation'><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Publications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>International<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Yuki Onishi, Kazuki Takashima, Kazuyuki Fujita, Yoshifumi Kitamura, <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/3526113.3545615\">WaddleWalls: Room-scale Interactive Partitioning System using a Swarm of Robotic Partitions<\/a>, Proceedings of the 35th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology, Article 29, page.1-15, October 2022.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yuki Onishi, Kazuki Takashima, Kazuyuki Fujita, Yoshifumi Kitamura,<br><a href=\"https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/doi\/10.1145\/3411763.3451607\">Self-actuated Stretchable Partitions for Dynamically Creating Secure Workplaces<\/a>,<br><em>Extended Abstracts of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems<\/em>, Article 294, 1\u20136, March 2021.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WaddleWalls: Room-scale Interactive Partitioning System using a Swarm of Robotic Partitions The configuration  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":933,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/page-full-width.php","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icd.riec.tohoku.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1295"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icd.riec.tohoku.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icd.riec.tohoku.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icd.riec.tohoku.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icd.riec.tohoku.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1295"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.icd.riec.tohoku.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1295\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3693,"href":"https:\/\/www.icd.riec.tohoku.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1295\/revisions\/3693"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icd.riec.tohoku.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icd.riec.tohoku.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
