Research Projects

@ UMD Intelligent Assistive Machines Lab
Datasets and data sharing play an important role in technological innovation but available data in accessibility are scarce. The goal of this project is to mitigate issues of inclusivity of in data-driven methods and technologies.

@ CMU Cognitive Assistance Lab
This project includes multiple user studies to inform the design of assistive technologies that support blind navigation and exploration inside complex buildings, such as large hospitals and shopping malls. We conducted exploratory research on how a prototype navigation system might help.

@ UTokyo Y.Sato Lab
This project investigates remote guide performance for assisting people with visual impairments in indoor navigation. We extracted social and technical recommendations to maximize training opportunities for untrained remote guides and improve the current design of remote mobility assistance.
