About
Abrar Anwar is pioneering the intersection of robot-assisted feeding and socially-aware navigation, with a focus on enabling robots to operate seamlessly in human-centered environments. His research spans three key areas: inside-mouth bite transfer, social navigation, and long-horizon spatio-temporal memory. Anwar’s most cited work, "Feel the Bite" (19 citations), introduces a robot-assisted feeding system capable of robustly placing food directly inside a user’s mouth—a critical advancement for individuals with severe mobility limitations who cannot lean forward. In "Watch Where You’re Going!" (18 citations), he demonstrates how gaze and head orientation can predict human walking intent, enabling mobile robots to navigate more safely and comfortably in crowded spaces. His recent work, "ReMEmbR" (7 citations), tackles the challenge of building and reasoning over long-term spatio-temporal memory for robot navigation, allowing robots to answer queries about past events. Additionally, Anwar’s "Human-Robot Commensality" (4 citations) explores bite timing prediction for social dining, aiming to restore the dignity of shared meals for those with disabilities. His contributions are shaping the future of assistive robotics and human-robot interaction.
