Robot-Assisted Feeding: Recent Advances And Future Directions In The Personal Robotics Lab

Presented at the SCI Forum November 8, 2023

Eating is a personal and intricate task that we perform every day. However, approximately 1.8 million people in the US alone cannot eat without assistance. In this presentation, Taylor Kessler Faulkner, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Scholar in the Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, will discuss the current state of robot-assisted feeding and the continuing research being done at UW in the Personal Robotics Lab (PRL), led by Prof. Siddhartha Srinivasa. She will discuss advances in both the autonomous robotics and the human-robot interaction components of assistive feeding, as well as discussing promising future research avenues.
