Universal Design Consortium Experts Events Resources Get in Touch
Inclusive Robotics Initiative

Robots built for all, not just some.

We partner with cross-domain experts to make robotic technologies usable by people of all abilities, sizes, and backgrounds — because better-designed robots mean safer, more accepted automation.

First

Robots will be everywhere. They need to work for everyone.

From home companions to restaurant staff, robots are entering every aspect of daily life — but most aren't built with inclusive design in mind.

The Opportunity

  • In our homes: vacuuming, laundry, pets, and companions
  • In public: restaurant waitstaff, hotel assistants, delivery robots

The Problem

  • Most robots don't account for different skills and body sizes
  • Companies lack the expertise to develop truly usable robots
  • Industry-wide guidelines for inclusive robotic design are still missing

Our Solution

  • We specialize in improving the usability of robotic technologies
  • We partner with cross-domain experts across HCI, engineering, and accessibility
  • Because more usable robots drive automation acceptance and safety
