About

Habibah Hashim is a robotics researcher whose work bridges the technical and therapeutic dimensions of autonomous systems, with a particular focus on robot-assisted interventions for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and communication protocols in robotic applications. Her most influential contribution, "Robot Applications for Autism: A Comprehensive Review" (2020), has garnered 93 citations and stands as a key reference for researchers exploring how robotics can transform rehabilitation, therapy, and education for autistic individuals. Complementing this, her reviews on robots and autistic children further consolidate her standing as a go-to voice in socially assistive robotics. On the technical side, Hashim has made notable strides in optimizing robot communication, with her 2015 paper comparing lightweight communication protocols accumulating 66 citations — reflecting the practical significance of her work for mobile and battery-operated robotic systems. Her research on FPGA-based Ethernet communication systems also demonstrates her command of embedded hardware design. Collectively, her work — spanning human-centered robotics, network protocols, and hardware integration — has earned her a growing citation record that underscores her meaningful contributions to both applied and therapeutic robotics research.
