Carman Neustaedter is the director of 丁香园AV鈥檚 Connections Lab, a research group in the School of Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT). The lab focuses on the design and use of technologies that support everyday life. Recently, researchers studied a long distance couple who use a telepresence robot that interacts with voice assisted/smart devices in the home, e.g., Google Home, Alexa. This allows a partner who is away from home to connect with their partner at home, and control things like light switches and cooking pots.
