GRFP fellow Kavita Krishnaswamy researches robotic systems to assist people with disabilities.

GRFP fellow Kavita Krishnaswamy studies in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Krishnaswamy's research involves the development of robotic systems to provide assistance and increase independence for people with disabilities. She is developing several prototype robotic systems that will support transferring, repositioning and personal care, with a focus on accessible user interfaces for control that are feasible for persons with severe disabilities. As a graduate student with a physical disability, Krishnaswamy is committed to using advanced technology to achieve independence in daily living.
