Accessibility and help
We want everyone to be able to explore the Organic Robotics Lab’s research, publications, and people. Our accessibility target is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA.
Using this website
- Use Tab and Shift+Tab to move between links and controls. Use Enter to follow a link, and Enter or Space to activate a button. The first link skips directly to the main content.
- On smaller screens, open the Menu button to reach the navigation. Escape closes the menu and returns focus to the button.
- Use the publication search, year, and type filters to narrow the bibliography. The number of matching papers is announced to assistive technology.
- News and the meeting schedule load a current copy when the page opens. Further automatic updates are optional. Select the checkbox to enable them, or use the Refresh buttons when you are ready.
- Audio companions have adjacent transcript and source links. Concept illustrations are labeled and have text descriptions.
- The layout adapts to narrow screens and browser zoom. Motion is reduced when your device requests reduced motion.
Report a barrier or request another format
If something is difficult to access, email Rob Shepherd at rfs247@cornell.edu. Include the page address, what you were trying to do, and your preferred format. You may also describe your browser or assistive technology if helpful.

Review and known limitations
Accessibility improvements cover the homepage, publication bibliography, image credits, this help page, and the four research and people archive pages. The 11 externally hosted archival videos still need full caption, transcript, and audio-description review. Publisher websites and linked PDFs also require separate review. If a linked item is inaccessible, please contact us for help obtaining its information.
Automated checks and keyboard and layout testing support this work. They do not replace a full evaluation with assistive technology or establish legal compliance. Accessibility review is ongoing.
