Thesis Title: Responsible AI & Robotics Through a Decolonial Lens

Thesis Abstract: This research investigates responsible AI and robotics frameworks with a focus on marginalized communities in the Global South. Using a data driven approach it evaluates how well current initiatives address the needs of resource-limited communities. Through case studies on AI and robotics, the study explores the practical application of decolonial frameworks, promoting participatory research. Expected outcomes include new responsible AI and robotics frameworks, insights into the needs of the Global South, and prototype systems designed to meet those needs.
