The Hub Group is a group of people with lived experience of disability, learning disability, metal health and family caring who contribute to professional education and research at the University of the West of England in health and social work programmes.
The Hub Group members of the Disability Rights and Robotics; Co-production futures project bring their lived experience of disability, mental health and family caring to inform research priorities around disability rights and robotics for user centred design. Their leadership role and expertise also contributes to the social scientists' and robotics technologists learning to develop accessible co-production research approaches and public engagement and impact opportunities in this cross disciplinary project.
