AI to support customised interactive social robot applications
This project aims to investigate the opportunities of using AI-enabled robot technology, such as humanoid robots, to enhance the employability of people with intellectual disability (ID). We propose that access and retention in employment can be enhanced with learning technologies that can support people to acquire, practice, and maintain job-related skills while creating socially inclusive workplaces. Humanoid robots are being marketed for supporting people with practical tasks in homes and workplaces . As a type of social robot, they have …

Acceptance and adoption of ambient assistive technologies
Vision-based technologies offer new possibilities to assist individuals with cognitive disabilities to live independently. Ambient assistive technologies, such as smart mirrors and social robots, enable new ways to interact at home with AI technologies that can see.How can we ensure the social acceptance and support the adoption of ambient assistive technologies?Technologies that support independent living are about much more than fulfilling a particular task. They alter how people perceive themselves and how they engage with others. Students in this project …

Respectful ambient interactions with vision-based assistive technology
Vision-based technologies offer new possibilities to assist individuals with cognitive disabilities to live independently. Ambient assistive technologies, such as smart mirrors and social robots, enable new ways to interact at home with AI technologies that can see.How can we design respectful ambient interactions that balance assistance and privacy?Students in this project will develop a method and theory of interactive intent for people with cognitive disabilities. The theory will be established through an exploration of the new types of interactions made …

Co-designing ambient assistive technologies
Vision-based technologies offer new possibilities to assist individuals with cognitive disabilities to live independently. Ambient assistive technologies, such as smart mirrors and social robots, enable new ways to interact at home with AI technologies that can see.How can we engage people of all abilities in co-designing ambient assistive technologies?Participation in design is often defined on a spectrum where stakeholders can be categorised as simple informants (surveyed at the start of a project), evaluators (involved in trial iterations of a design), …
