Steinfeld and his colleagues are designing cooperative robots, or co-robots, to empower people with disabilities to safely travel and navigate unfamiliar environments. The team focuses on information exchange, assistive localization, and urban navigation in his research -- essentially finding new ways for robots and humans to interact. "In our experience, people who are blind are very willing to interact with a robot, to touch its arms and hands," he says.
