Research Line Statement
Dr. Amal Dweik’s research focuses on human-centered IoT and Edge-AI systems that enhance safety, accessibility, and autonomy in real-world environments. Her recent works span assistive communication technologies (WhisperHand, an embedded sign-language translation glove), humanitarian robotics (Arachno TrackBot, an edge-AI multimodal rescue robot), and safety-driven smart environments (Touch-and-Tap Cooking System for intelligent kitchen automation). Collectively, these projects contribute to the development of energy-efficient, AI-enabled frameworks for inclusive and safety-oriented applications in embedded and cloud-connected computing.
“Her ongoing work explores context-aware human–AI interaction and real-time analytics for intelligent assistive systems.”
