About

Amir Mehdi Shayan is a robotics researcher focused on advancing human-robot interaction (HRI) and social robotics, with particular attention to cultural and regional adaptability. His most notable contribution is the development of **RoboParrot 2.0**, a multi-purpose social robot designed to bridge communication gaps in the Middle East by enabling verbal interactions in local languages—a critical need often overlooked by mainstream robotics. This work, cited 10 times, highlights his commitment to making social robots more inclusive and context-aware. Shayan also contributed to **sensor integration and biomechanics** through his design of a pressure-sensitive shoe platform for the Nao H25 humanoid robot. This modular system, cited 5 times, allows precise estimation of ground reaction forces, enhancing the robot’s stability and locomotion capabilities. By combining social robotics with practical hardware innovations, Shayan demonstrates a unique ability to address both user experience and technical performance. His work serves as a valuable resource for researchers interested in culturally adaptive HRI and low-cost, customizable robotic platforms.
