Designing a usable interface for an interactive robot. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., Clarkson, J., & Robinson, P. (1999, July). Designing a usable interface for an interactive robot. Presented at ICORR ’99: 6th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics., Stanford University, Stanford, California, U.S.A

The traditional emphasis of Rehabilitation Robotics has been dominated largely by the logistics of system development rather than how to maximise overall system usability [1]. The research programme at Cambridge has focused on the shortcomings of thi... Read More about Designing a usable interface for an interactive robot..

The use of gestures in multimodal input (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., & Robinson, P. (1998, April). The use of gestures in multimodal input. Presented at ASSETS'98 The 3rd ACM SIGCAPH Conference on Assistive Technologies, Marina del Rey, California, USA

For users with motion impairments, the standard keyboard and mouse arrangement for computer access often presents problems. Other approaches have to be adopted to overcome this. In this paper, we wiii describe the development of a prototype multimoda... Read More about The use of gestures in multimodal input.

User modelling and the design of computer-based assistive devices (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., & Dowland, R. (1997, March). User modelling and the design of computer-based assistive devices. Presented at IEE Colloquium on Computers in the Service of Mankind: Helping the Disabled, London, UK

User models are well represented in the field of human-computer interaction. They afford designers of interfaces detailed quantitative knowledge of the user for improved design, both in terms of the final end-product and the time taken to achieve thi...
