Research for Social Change
The work of this knowledge area within the ARCH center focuses on normative frameworks for evaluating the appropriateness, design, and deployment of robotic technologies in IDD support contexts. NOIRE will uncover the Big Ideas, survey the landscape, and review the many perspectives that inform this important duscussion

The Landscape
The Pioneering work of Cynthia Breazeal and MIT
The Pioneering work of Cynthia Breazeal and MIT
NOIRE explores the work of pioneering researcher Cynthia Breazeal. Dr. Breazeal's work at MIT with the Personal Robots Group, and through the Responsible AI for Social Empowerment and Education (RAISE) Initiative, is critical to understanding how socially assistive robotics can enhance the lives of people who experience IDD and the professionals that support them.
Participatory Design
Participatory Design
Nothing about us, without us, means exactly what it says. NOTHING... up to and including the thinking and work that goes into the testing and design of robotics to be used in supportive capacities with people who experience IDD. What are some of the current processes involved in designing and testing? How are end users being included in that process?
Personhood
Personhood
No conversation about robotics and human-robot interaction, particularly within the differently abled community, can avoid a fundamental discussion of personhood. What does it mean to be a person? What does autonomy, consent, and self-determination look like to a robot?
