About
Vasiliki Aliki Nikopoulou is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of social robotics and clinical psychology, with a focused expertise in robot-assisted interventions for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Her most impactful work, "Effectiveness of a Robot-Assisted Psychological Intervention for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder" (2022, 46 citations), demonstrates the tangible benefits of integrating social robots into therapeutic settings, providing a data-driven foundation for this emerging field. Nikopoulou’s major contributions include advancing multi-robot approaches to ASD interventions (2020, 9 citations) and identifying linguistic cues to develop empathetic robotic systems (2020, 4 citations), which push the boundaries of how technology can understand and respond to human emotion. Her notable case report on robot-assisted relaxation for a pediatric patient with comorbid compulsive behaviors (2022, 4 citations) highlights her commitment to addressing complex, real-world clinical challenges. By bridging engineering and psychology, Nikopoulou’s work not only enriches special education practices but also offers a compassionate, innovative pathway for supporting children and families navigating ASD.
