About

Hasan Sajid is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the design and development of socially interactive humanoid robots, with a particular focus on creating accessible, engaging platforms for human-robot interaction. His most notable contribution is the conception and realization of "Ribo," an upper-torso social humanoid robot standing 135 cm tall, equipped with facial actuation capable of displaying basic expressions. Detailed in his 2017 paper, this work not only outlines the mechanical and aesthetic design process but also captures public reception through multiple exhibitions, demonstrating how thoughtful engineering can foster positive social responses. While his citation count of 4 reflects the niche, early-stage nature of this project, the work represents a foundational step in making humanoid robots more approachable and emotionally expressive. Sajid’s research bridges mechanical design, social robotics, and user experience, offering valuable insights for students and researchers interested in building robots that can communicate non-verbally and engage with non-expert audiences. His hands-on approach to prototyping and public demonstration underscores a commitment to real-world applicability in human-robot interaction.
