About
Max Pascher is a human-computer interaction researcher whose work sits at the intersection of assistive robotics, human-robot interaction, and inclusive design. His research focuses primarily on empowering people with motor disabilities through intelligent robotic systems, with a particular emphasis on making assistive robot arms more usable, intuitive, and accessible in everyday contexts. Pascher's most influential contribution — a 2023 scoping review on communicating robot motion intent, already garnering 65 citations — has become a foundational reference for researchers designing safer, more transparent human-robot collaboration systems. Across multiple multiyear projects, he has championed participatory design methodologies, ensuring that people with disabilities are active co-creators rather than passive subjects of technological development, as reflected in his widely cited 2021 work on this approach. His practical contributions include the AdaptiX XR framework for evaluating shared control in assistive robotics, alongside studies on adaptive degrees-of-freedom control and visualization techniques for communicating robot perception to impaired users. More recently, Pascher has explored the integration of large language models into human-robot teaming environments, signaling an exciting forward-looking direction in his research agenda. With over 200 cumulative citations, his work is shaping how the robotics community designs technology that genuinely serves diverse human needs.
