Pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence to bridge the gap in human inclusion. We build systems that see, feel, and assist.
Our fundamental research is focused on critical dimensions of assistive technology, ensuring fairness, accessibility, and robust human integration.
We explore the frontier of Intelligent Assistive Technology, leveraging artificial intelligence to create solutions that enhance the independence and quality of life for individuals with diverse needs. Our research focuses on developing smart systems that can perceive user needs, adapt to different contexts, and provide timely assistance, moving beyond traditional assistive devices towards truly intelligent companions.
Understanding that conventional interfaces often create barriers, our lab is dedicated to designing and evaluating Alternative User Experiences (UX) and User Interfaces (UI) specifically tailored for people with special needs. We investigate novel interaction modalities beyond standard visual and motor interfaces, exploring areas like gaze interaction, voice control, haptic feedback, and AI-powered adaptations.
In an era dominated by big data and AI, we critically examine the challenges surrounding data generated by or about minority groups. Our research investigates methods for fair and ethical data collection, techniques to mitigate bias in datasets and AI models, and strategies to ensure that the insights derived from big data truly benefit all members of society.
We research how Artificial Intelligence can augment and transform human services, particularly in healthcare, rehabilitation, and support systems. Our work investigates the potential of AI to assist caregivers, therapists, and service providers by offering data-driven insights, automating routine tasks, and enabling new forms of remote support and monitoring.
Ensuring equitable access to information in the digital age is a core focus. We investigate how AI can break down barriers to information access for people with disabilities. Our research explores AI techniques for automatic content adaptation, multimodal presentation (e.g., text-to-speech, sign language generation), and creating accessible digital documents and web experiences.
Our lab explores the intersection of AI and robotics to advance the field of rehabilitation. We focus on developing intelligent robotic systems that can assist in physical and cognitive rehabilitation therapies. This includes designing exoskeletons and therapeutic robots, leveraging AI for motion analysis, adaptive control, and human-robot interaction.
