The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded a $508,543 project grant to Stanford University for research titled "Robot-Assisted Feeding: Towards Efficient, Safe, and Personalized Caregiving Robots." The three-year grant runs from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2025 and supports research under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070).
This program aims to advance computing, communications, and information science through investigator-initiated research and education. The Stanford University project will develop robot technologies to assist with feeding in a manner that is efficient, safe and personalized for each user. Insights from this research could help enable robots to provide caregiving support and improve quality of life. The grantee will leverage its expertise in robotics and human-robot interaction to help address important challenges in eldercare.
