Accessibility of Robotics Research


Robotics intelligence has the potential to make the world more accessible and inclusive.  While our work includes learning policies from motor-impaired teachers, we believe the motor-impaired community should not only contribute data but also lead as researchers and programmers. We spotlight the under-representation of individuals with physical motor impairments in the robotics field, as we tackle barriers which hinder participation and propose solutions to foster inclusion and empowerment in our research community.
