About
Soizic Gauthier is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of social robotics, child-computer interaction, and assistive technologies for neurodevelopmental disorders. Her work focuses on designing intelligent robotic systems that serve as therapeutic companions and educational tools for children with conditions such as autism spectrum disorder and dysgraphia. Gauthier’s most notable contribution is the collaborative design of **R2C3**, a rehabilitation robotic companion that engages both children and caregivers in therapy, demonstrating how human-centered design can create meaningful, socially assistive robots. She also developed a Wizard of Oz interface using the **Qtrobot** to facilitate handwriting learning for children with dysgraphia, with usability evaluations showing promising engagement and skill improvement. Through the **iReCheck project**, Gauthier further advanced personalised handwriting practice by integrating tablets and robots to maintain children’s motivation—a critical factor in long-term educational outcomes. With over 25 citations across her top papers, her work is gaining traction in the fields of rehabilitation robotics and special education technology. Gauthier’s research stands out for its emphasis on co-design with end-users, bridging the gap between technical innovation and real-world therapeutic needs, and offering scalable solutions for inclusive education.
