About
Andrea Rebecchi is a researcher at Politecnico di Milano whose work sits at the intersection of inclusive design, urban accessibility, and assistive technology. Her primary research focus is on shaping public spaces that are truly usable by all, with a particular emphasis on the needs of visually impaired people. Rebecchi’s major contribution is the conception and development of the “Blind-assistive aUtonomous Droid Device: BUDD-e,” a project funded by the Polisocial Award 2021. This multidisciplinary initiative bridges the gap between inclusive design theory and practical, technological intervention, demonstrating how autonomous robotic systems can be deployed to make urban environments more navigable and equitable. The resulting publication, “Shaping accessible public spaces for visually impaired people. The BUDD-e research experience” (2023), has already garnered 2 citations, signaling early recognition of its innovative approach. By combining architectural design, robotics, and user-centered methodologies, Rebecchi is pioneering a new paradigm for accessible cities—one where technology does not replace human experience but enhances it, ensuring that public spaces are not just accessible but genuinely welcoming for everyone.
