Minimalist Technologies for Accessibility

We are interested in low-cost DIY technologies that either empower individuals with disabilities, or contribute to identifying places that require infrastructure improvements to be more accessible.

We collaborate with Dr. Jesse Leaman and our work has been accelerated by his very generous donation of a Permobil power wheelchair. We also collaborate with the Mapping Accessibility Project (MAP) at Western Washington University, led by Dr. Francisco Laso.

Multi-Robot Systems

By minimizing the resources used by each robot, we can make multi-robot systems more scalable (both to larger numbers and smaller robots). Our research group looks at distributed algorithms for large multi-agent collectives, with a special focus on maintaining formal guarantees on collective behavior.
