About

Dr. Carl Jackson is a leading innovator in assistive technology and spatial exploration systems, with a focused expertise in portable multi-sensor integration for obstacle detection. His most notable contribution is spearheading the INSPEX H2020 project, which successfully miniaturized automotive-grade spatial exploration and obstacle detection functionalities into a wearable, low-power device. This breakthrough work, detailed in his highly cited 2017 paper, enables real-time detection and localization of both static and mobile obstacles for users with visual impairments or those operating in low-visibility environments. While his citation count of 6 reflects the niche, applied nature of his engineering research, the impact of his work is profound—bridging the gap between automotive safety systems and personal assistive technology. Dr. Jackson’s achievement lies not in volume of citations, but in translating complex sensor fusion and miniaturization challenges into a practical, life-changing wearable system. His research continues to push boundaries in smart spatial exploration, making autonomous navigation more accessible and inclusive for vulnerable populations.
