A voice-user-interface (VUI) artificial intelligence (AI) model exploration for electric vehicle (EV) charging that is inclusive to those living with disabilities

BeWorks Automation （BeWorks）的清洁技术工程专家正处于一个早期探索项目的前沿，该项目旨在彻底改变可访问的电动汽车充电体验。与他们的包容性设计合作伙伴Kinneir Dufort （KD）一起。该公司致力于进行深入的研究和可行性研究，以解决在残疾人（包括阅读障碍和自闭症等认知障碍）中实施人工智能语音用户界面（VUI）技术的电动汽车充电挑战。通过关注可访问性挑战和探索新技术对残疾人的影响，该项目寻求交付一个经过验证的用户反馈研究，作为包含迭代建议的评估文档。该合作项目的主要重点是识别和定义目标用户，他们可能面临的挑战，以及在电动汽车充电背景下的包容性和排他性技术。通过严格的探索，项目团队的目标是选择需要改进的概念，并将其开发成低保真度的原型，旨在提供目标用户的评估反馈。在这个早期阶段，协作团队的目标是理解设计包容性VUI模型所涉及的复杂性和需求。通过进行彻底的研究并与专家合作，项目团队打算在这些方面获得有价值的见解，从而为未来的决策和开发工作提供信息。通过与拥有超过45年以用户为中心的设计和产品开发经验的设计专家的合作，BeWorks很高兴能够开始这个早期的探索性项目。通过推动创新的边界和研究包容性VUI模型概念的可行性，该公司旨在为无障碍和用户友好的电动汽车充电解决方案的发展做出贡献。在这个关键的早期发现阶段，协作团队的目标是定义必要的基本方面，以构建一个强大的商业案例，以开发一个包容性的VUI模型。通过进一步探索语音命令与电动汽车充电点的集成，BeWorks旨在增强整体用户体验，使电动汽车充电更加直观，易于访问和用户友好。

Cleantech engineering specialists at BeWorks Automation (BeWorks) are at the forefront of an early-stage explorative project aimed at revolutionising the accessible EV charging experience. Together with their inclusive design partner, Kinneir Dufort (KD). the company is committed to conducting in-depth research and feasibility studies to address the challenges of implementing AI-incorporated Voice-User-Interface(VUI) technology for EV-charging among individuals with disabilities, including cognitive impairments like dyslexia and autism. By focusing on accessibility challenges and exploring the impact of new technology on individuals with disabilities, the project seeks to deliver a validated user feedback study as an evaluative document containing recommendations for iterations.The primary focus of this collaborative project is to identify and define the target users, their possible challenges, and inclusive & exclusionary technologies in the context of EV charging. Through rigorous exploration, the project team aims to select concepts to be refined and developed into low-fidelity prototypes aimed at providing evaluative feedback from the target users.At this early stage, the collaborative team's objective is to understand the complexities and requirements involved in designing an inclusive VUI model. By conducting thorough research and collaborating with experts, the project team intends to gain valuable insights into these aspects to inform future decision-making and development efforts.Through collaboration with design experts specialising in user-centred design and product development with over 45 years' experience, BeWorks is excited to embark on this early-stage explorative project. By pushing the boundaries of innovation and investigating the feasibility of inclusive VUI model concepts, the company aims to contribute to the advancement of accessible and user-friendly EV charging solutions. In this crucial early discovery phase, the collaborative team aims to define the essential aspects necessary to build a strong commercial case for the development of an inclusive VUI model. By further exploring voice commands' integration into EV chargepoints, BeWorks aims to enhance the overall user experience, making EV charging more intuitive, accessible, and user-friendly for all.
