About

Dr. Muhammad Tahir is at the forefront of human-robot interaction, pioneering research that bridges artificial intelligence, education, and gerontechnology. His work centers on two transformative applications: enhancing higher-education governance through telepresence robots and gamification, and improving elderly care with socially assistive robots. In his highly cited 2024 study (13 citations), Dr. Tahir demonstrated how integrating telepresence robots with gamification—grounded in constructivism and self-determination theory—can revolutionize student engagement and institutional governance in the AI-driven digital era. His 2025 work (6 citations) addresses the global aging crisis by proposing a holistic framework for socially assistive robots that seamlessly integrates mobility assistance with cognitive and emotional support, tackling challenges of social isolation and cognitive decline. Dr. Tahir’s contributions are notable for their interdisciplinary scope and practical impact, offering scalable, sustainable strategies that directly address pressing societal needs. By reimagining how robots can serve as collaborative partners in both academic and caregiving contexts, he is shaping the future of human-centered AI—making technology not just smarter, but more compassionate and inclusive.
