  • AT@Work: Intelligent Assistive Technologies for Enabling Workplace Inclusion

    Mario Heinz-Jakobs, Sinem Görmez, Hailey L Johnson, Jens Gerken, Max Pascher, Giulia Barbareschi, Saminda Sundeepa Balasuriya, Laurianne Sitbon, Carsten Röcker · 2025 · ASSETS 2025: 27th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

    This workshop paper examines the role of digital assistive technologies (ATs) in advancing vocational inclusion for people with disabilities. Despite increasing policy efforts such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and…

  • WanderGuide: Indoor Map-less Robotic Guide for Exploration by Blind People

    Masaki Kuribayashi, Kohei Uehara, Allan Wang, Shigeo Morishima, Chieko Asakawa · 2025 · Proceedings of the 2025 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '25)

    Kuribayashi and colleagues design WanderGuide, a suitcase-shaped robotic guide that supports blind people in recreational, open-ended exploration of indoor environments — wandering, browsing, window-shopping — rather than getting from A to B. The team frames a clear gap in the…

  • Field Trials of Autonomous Navigation Robot for Visually Impaired People

    Hironobu Takagi, Kakuya Naito, Daisuke Sato, Masayuki Murata, Seita Kayukawa, Chieko Asakawa · 2025 · Extended Abstracts of the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI EA '25)

    This paper reports field trials of AI Suitcase, an autonomous navigation robot shaped like a conventional carry-on suitcase and designed to guide blind and visually impaired (BVI) travellers safely through unfamiliar public spaces. The system traces its origins to the CaBot…

  • Beyond Omakase: Designing Shared Control for Navigation Robots with Blind People

    Rie Kamikubo, Seita Kayukawa, Yuka Kaniwa, Allan Wang, Hernisa Kacorri, Hironobu Takagi, Chieko Asakawa · 2025 · Proceedings of the 2025 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '25)

    Kamikubo and colleagues investigate how autonomous navigation robots for blind users should balance robot autonomy against user control, arguing that current systems default to what they call 'omakase' — a Japanese term meaning 'I leave it to you' — in which the robot makes all…
