Human-robot collaboration requires partners to coordinate interdependent contributions toward a shared goal. Joint Action theory provides concepts for understanding this coordination, but how these concepts are instantiated and combined across empirical research remains fragmented. We conducted a systematic review following PRISMA 2020, identifying 83 empirical papers published between 2021 and 2026. Through theory-driven framework analysis, we organized the literature into nine constructs across three capacities: Representation, Prediction, and Integration. We analyze how these constructs are distributed and co-occur across studies, revealing where empirical evidence concentrates and where it is absent. By mapping empirical HRC research onto a unified Joint Action framework, this review offers a coherent overview of HRC studies, identifies gaps in current evidence, and provides guidelines for future research.

In early mathematics, children learn abstract concepts through concrete representations, such as manipulating objects, drawing, and speaking. Learning with peers can enrich this process by exposing children to diverse strategies and enabling them to exchange ideas through interaction. We realized this potential with virtual peers in Peers4U, a multimodal learning system to enhance children's mathematical conceptual understanding. Virtual peers driven by LLMs are personalized to the learner's cognitive level and assigned multimodal solutions with inspectable processes. During learning, peers engage in mixed-initiative interactions by responding, initiating topics, and advancing discussions along a pedagogical progression. A user study with 22 children and two experts showed our learner-centered topic orchestration significantly outperformed a persona-centered baseline, and children spontaneously authored new artifacts to demonstrate inspired ideas or share their own strategies, producing significantly more solutions when grouped with more Leading Peers. We contribute design insights for multimodal, learner-centered virtual peer systems.

Large Language Models (LLMs) based autonomous agents demonstrate multifaceted capabilities to contribute substantially to economic production. However, existing benchmarks remain focused on single agentic capability, failing to capture long-horizon real-world scenarios. Moreover, the reliance on human-in-the-loop feedback for realistic tasks creates a scalability bottleneck, hindering automated rollout collection and evaluation. To bridge this gap, we introduce AgencyBench, a comprehensive benchmark derived from daily AI usage, evaluating 6 core agentic capabilities across 32 real-world scenarios, comprising 138 tasks with specific queries, deliverables, and rubrics. These scenarios require an average of 90 tool calls, 1 million tokens, and hours of execution time to resolve. To enable automated evaluation, we employ a user simulation agent to provide iterative feedback, and a Docker sandbox to conduct visual and functional rubric-based assessment. Experiments reveal that closed-source models significantly outperform open-source models (48.4% vs 32.1%). Further analysis reveals significant disparities across models in resource efficiency, feedback-driven self-correction, and specific tool-use preferences.
