About
Chitralekha Gupta is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI) and assistive technology, with a primary focus on designing inclusive robotic systems for blind and low-vision (BLV) individuals. Her most-cited work, a systematic literature review published in 2025, synthesizes the state of the art in HRI for BLV users, identifying critical gaps in accessibility, navigation, and social interaction—a foundational contribution that has already garnered 4 citations in its first year. Gupta’s research addresses how robots can serve as navigational aids, communication partners, and daily assistants for visually impaired populations, bridging engineering, psychology, and disability studies. Her work is notable for its user-centered approach, emphasizing co-design with BLV communities to ensure real-world relevance. By mapping the landscape of inclusive robotics, Gupta has laid the groundwork for future innovations in accessible autonomous systems. Her contributions are particularly timely as society moves toward more equitable technology, and her systematic review serves as a key reference for researchers and practitioners aiming to make robots truly assistive for all.
