Conference Engagement via Robot: A Case Study in an Option for a Student Unable to Travel

Background

Kavita is a graduate student in computer science. Because of her disability she cannot travel to professional conferences in her field.

Access Issue

Kavita has been able to attend some sessions at conferences via video calls, but this mode of access limits the ways she is able to engage in conference activities. For example, when she calls into a conference session, she is unable to network with other attendees in sessions and in exhibit areas through informal conversation.
