Softly non-spoken

Investigator: Katherine Broomfield

Funder: EPSRC Impact Accelerator award

This project is concerned with exploring whether soft robotics can be used as augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) to support non-verbal communication. It is being carried out as a collaboration between with partners at University of Bristol, The Bristol Robotics Lab, BSLTRU and Airgiants (an industry
partner).

Katherine Broomfield is supporting this project by providing expertise in AAC and co-design with people who have communication difficulties.
