About

Mohd Nazrin Muhammad is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction (HRI), with a specialized focus on assistive social robotics and emotional state analysis. His work addresses the critical challenge of designing robots that can intuitively perceive and respond to human emotions, enabling more natural and effective collaboration. Muhammad’s most cited paper, “A Review on Usability and User Experience of Assistive Social Robots for Older Persons” (2022, 13 citations), provides a comprehensive synthesis of how these technologies can offer physical and cognitive support in elder care, highlighting key design barriers. His earlier foundational studies, including “Investigation of Human Emotional State in Human-Robot Collaboration” (2014, 8 citations) and “Analysis of Human Emotion State in Collaboration with Robot” (2013, 3 citations), systematically explore how robots can decode human emotional cues to improve teamwork in both domestic and industrial settings. By bridging usability, user experience, and affective computing, Muhammad’s research lays essential groundwork for developing socially aware robots that can safely and empathetically assist humans, from manufacturing floors to care homes. His cumulative work, cited over 25 times, is shaping the next generation of collaborative robots that are not only functional but emotionally intelligent.
