About
Anastasia Raptopoulou is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI) and neurodevelopmental disorders, with a primary focus on leveraging robotics to enhance social skill development in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Her seminal work, a comprehensive literature review on HRI for children with ASD, has garnered 33 citations and serves as a foundational resource for researchers exploring technology-assisted interventions. Raptopoulou systematically analyzed experimental studies, identifying key methodologies and outcomes that demonstrate how robots can effectively foster socio-communicational abilities in young individuals with ASD. Her contributions have helped bridge the gap between engineering and clinical psychology, offering evidence-based insights for designing more responsive and engaging robotic systems. By synthesizing diverse experimental results, she has highlighted the potential of robots as non-judgmental, predictable interaction partners, making her work highly influential in shaping future assistive technologies. Raptopoulou’s research continues to inspire new directions in inclusive robotics, emphasizing the importance of tailored, interactive tools for special education and therapeutic settings.
