About

Brandi House is a robotics and human-computer interaction researcher whose work sits at the compelling intersection of assistive technology and robotic control systems. Her most significant contribution, "The VoiceBot" (2009), has garnered 83 citations and represents a landmark achievement in accessibility-focused robotics — demonstrating a system through which human voice signals could continuously control both simulated 2D and real 3D robotic arms, offering new pathways to independence for individuals with motor impairments. Building on earlier work with the VJ-VoiceBot (2007), House helped pioneer the application of Vocal Joystick technology to robotic limb manipulation, advancing a vision where people with mobility disabilities could interact with their physical environment through voice alone. Her background also encompasses robotic vision, as evidenced by her earlier research into stereo camera calibration techniques (2006), which addressed critical error-correction challenges in robotic perception systems. Across her career, House has consistently focused on making robotics more accessible and reliable, with her assistive technology research proving particularly influential in demonstrating that voice-driven robotic control is not only feasible but practically impactful for underserved populations.
