NSF SBIR awards AgentSheets a Phase II SBIR grant
March 2004 - NSF SBIR awards AgentSheets a Phase II grant for the development and commercialization of the Mobility Agents project. Mobility Agents help persons with cognitive disabilities to use public transportation independently. Through a highly customizable interface the traveler's progress is tracked and caregivers are notified in case of a delay or unexpected detour.
Contextualized, just in time prompts guide travelers by informing them when the right bus is approaching and when their bus is at the bus stop. Customizable user-profiles select appropriate modalities (voice, text, pictures) based on the particular user's abilities, as well as determine the right bus for the user's current location and destination. The wireless device communicates with a server that provides buss location and other customized information. Mobility agents track a traveler's progress and can notify others in case of a delay or unexpected detour. Caregivers or family members have secure access to a 3D visualization to monitor trip progress and offer assistance. This gives travelers confidence and a safety net when traveling alone or on a unfamiliar route.

Boulder, January 25, 2002: AgentSheets, Inc. is one of two companies in Colorado that has been selected by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), Denver, to meet with Japanese companies at the Techno Business Forum 2002 in Tokyo during the week of January 28th. AgentSheets, Inc. introduces its newest development in AgentSheets technology. Simulations for wireless PDA’s and cell phones. AgentSheets wireless product is able to access the web with instructions by the user to extract information only needed by the user. This information is returned by audio. Nadia Repenning, VP sales and marketing summarizes: “Today it is possible to access the Web with PDA’s and cell phones, but the information sent back is cluttered and often irrelevant to the user. We call this approach the semantic web. Agentsheets goes one step further into the pragmatic Web, where the same information is available but only the specific information needed by the user is extracted. Need to know what the weather is like in a specific location? Nothing easier than that with our software since it uses speech input and will return with the information important to the user. Temperature, wind speed, suggestion on clothing, just to name a few variables, are relied back to the user by speech output. There are no limits to what information users can extract from the web.” |
