Dr Miguel Sarabia is an alumnus from the Personal Robotics Lab. His research focused on developing user-modelling techniques for a human-like companion that can help children with disabilities learn to drive a powered wheelchair. He also wrote an application-agnostic and open-source implementation of the as contributed to a fast .
Moreover, he collaborated with the to carry out a study evaluating the potential of a humanoid companion for acute hospital patients.
