About the Quality of Life Technology (QoLT) Center

The Quality of Life Technology Center was a National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Center (ERC) focused on the development of intelligent systems that enable older adults and people with disabilities to live more independently. The QoLT Center addressed the needs and activities of everyday living by prototyping personal assistive robots, cognitive and behavioral coaches, human awareness and driver assistance technologies. QoLT Research was rooted in human-system interaction and observed the social and clinical factors for deployment and adoption. In addition to R&D, educational programs, commercialization initiatives and unique partnership opportunities were offered. The Center was jointly run by Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh.
