Trying to Make Robots and Humans More Understandable to Each Other
Hi, Iām Joel ā a PhD student at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland and a Research Fellow at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Italy.
My work focuses on Human-Robot Interaction and Social Robotics, where I explore how we can make interactions between humans and robots more intuitive, seamless, and mutually understandable.
Desire Health Smart Mask: I prototyped the first version of the Desire Health Mask ā a smart wearable that continuously tracks vital signs like pulse rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature. The device displays real-time health status through color-coded lights and an OLED screen, while also wirelessly transmitting and storing biometric data for remote monitoring. This enables a data-driven approach to health assessment and early intervention. The project was developed in collaboration with Desire Hygiene. More details
