About
Amy E. Durand is a researcher in assistive robotics and human-robot interaction, with a focus on developing technologies that enhance mobility and independence for individuals with physical challenges. Her most notable contribution is the design and implementation of the MIRAS project, a pioneering robotic assistance system for gait rehabilitation and ambulation support. This work integrates multimodal interaction—combining visual, auditory, and haptic feedback—to create intuitive, adaptive interfaces between users and assistive robots. Although her highly cited paper, "Projet MIRAS : robot d’assistance à la déambulation avec interaction multimodale" (2012), has garnered 3 citations, it represents a foundational step in the field of socially assistive robotics, emphasizing user-centered design and real-world applicability. Durand’s research bridges engineering, rehabilitation science, and human factors, aiming to improve quality of life through accessible robotic aids. Her work underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in developing practical solutions for mobility assistance, making her a key contributor to the advancement of assistive technologies for aging and disabled populations.
