About
Selvia Kuriakose’s research lies at the intersection of assistive robotics and human-computer interaction, with a focus on leveraging ubiquitous mobile technology to empower individuals with disabilities. Her most-cited work, "A step towards a robotic system with smartphone working as its brain: An assistive technology" (2013), introduces a novel navigation system where a smartphone serves as the central processing unit for a robotic platform. This pioneering design is sensitive to both tactile and head-movement input commands, enabling users with limited mobility to control the robot intuitively. By transforming an everyday smartphone into an accessible interface, Kuriakose’s prototype demonstrates a cost-effective, proof-of-concept assistive technology that reduces barriers to independence. Her contributions highlight the potential of repurposing consumer electronics for inclusive design, bridging the gap between advanced robotics and practical, user-centered solutions. With 6 citations, this foundational work has inspired further exploration into smartphone-driven assistive systems, underscoring Kuriakose’s role in advancing accessible, low-cost robotic aids for enhanced quality of life.
