Fall 2024 Lecture Upper Division
The purpose of this graduate-level course is to equip students with the practical skills required to engage in effective and impactful research within the realm of assistive technologies and assistive robotics. The course encompasses a comprehensive exploration of key topics and research areas in assistive robotics and related technology fields, including mobility, vision, hearing, speech, and cognitive aids. Throughout the course, students will acquire a strong foundation in the essential components of conducting research in these domains. This includes conducting needs assessments, conducting comprehensive literature reviews, implementing user testing and iterative solution development processes, evaluating solutions, and engaging in prototyping activities. Emphasizing a holistic approach to learning, students will actively participate in dynamic discussions and debates, engage in insightful site visits, interact with guest speakers, and collaborate on both team and individual projects. A pivotal aspect of the course involves the practical application of acquired knowledge in a research project. Students will have the opportunity to design, implement, and/or evaluate assistive technologies or robots tailored to address specific challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and the elderly. This hands-on experience will enable students to put theory into practice and contribute meaningfully to the advancement of assistive technology solutions.
