    Towards Open World Robot Safety

    Newell-Simon Hall 4305

    Abstract:  Robot safety is a nuanced concept. We commonly equate safety with collision-avoidance, but in complex, real-world environments (i.e., the "open world'') it can be much more: for example, a mobile manipulator should understand when it is not confident about a requested task, that areas roped off by caution tape should never be breached, and that [...]

    Designing Community: Co-Designed Sensing, Haptics, and Frugal Robotics for the Public Good

    Newell-Simon Hall 4305

    Abstract: This talk presents a portfolio of community‑partnered research that uses co‑design to turn local needs into embodied technologies. I will share case studies that span environmental justice, accessibility, and disaster response. First, an intergenerational air‑quality program where community members learn programming, soldering, open‑source tools, and electrical engineering while building and then deploying DIY air‑quality [...]
