About
Petros Kechayas is a leading researcher at the intersection of social robotics, special education, and artificial intelligence. His work focuses on developing and evaluating robot-assisted interventions for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Specific Learning Disorders (SpLDs), aiming to improve learning performance and social engagement. Kechayas’s most impactful study, with 46 citations, demonstrates the effectiveness of a robot-assisted psychological intervention for children with ASD. He has pioneered the use of multimodal machine learning to estimate child engagement during human-robot interaction, a critical step toward adaptive, responsive educational tools. His research also explores linguistic cues for building empathetic robots and the design of educational scenarios for children with learning disabilities. With over 100 cumulative citations, Kechayas’s contributions are shaping a new paradigm in special education, where intelligent, socially aware robots can deliver personalized, scalable therapeutic and educational support. His work not only advances technical frontiers in human-robot interaction but also offers practical, evidence-based pathways for inclusive education.
