We spotlight the under-representation of individuals with physical motor impairments in the robotics field, as we tackle barriers which hinder participation and propose solutions to foster inclusion and empowerment in our research community.
A poster detailing the barriers and proposed solutions was presented at the Robotics: Science and Systems 2023 workshop titled "Lowering Barriers for Robotics Research". Find a copy of the poster here.
