About
Aliaa Moualla is a researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on social robotics, sensory-motor control, and autonomous learning in real-world environments. Her work explores how robots can develop natural, socially engaging behaviors through low-level control of gaze and facial expressions, and how interaction with humans in public spaces—such as museums—can shape a robot’s individual preferences and adaptive responses. In her most-cited paper (2017, 7 citations), she investigates how a robot museum visitor’s gaze and expressions impact human perception, emphasizing the role of subtle, non-verbal cues in social robotics. Her 2018 study (2 citations) further demonstrates that online learning through unstructured human interaction in a museum setting enables robots to develop distinct behavioral traits, moving beyond pre-programmed responses. Moualla’s work contributes to the growing field of embodied AI and socially aware robotics, offering insights into how robots can learn from and adapt to dynamic social environments. Her research is particularly relevant for developing more intuitive, human-friendly robots capable of meaningful, long-term interaction in public and cultural spaces.
