About
Dr. Anitawati Mohd Lokman is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, Kansei engineering, and assistive robotics. Her work focuses on designing emotionally intelligent robotic systems that respond to human affective states, with particular emphasis on two vulnerable populations: children with autism spectrum disorder and the elderly. Her most cited study (29 citations) explores autistic children's Kansei (emotional) responses toward humanoid robots as teaching mediators, demonstrating how robots can bridge social communication deficits. She has developed conceptual models for robot-mediated learning motivation based on emotional responses, and her intervention studies (18-19 citations) show how robotic companions can combat loneliness and improve emotional wellness in aging populations. Dr. Lokman’s innovative "Kansei-Spiritual Therapeutic Robot Interaction Design" integrates cultural sensitivity into robotic therapy, while her work on empowering elderly emotion wellness through cultural Kansei robotic interaction design highlights her commitment to context-aware technology. With over 80 citations across her core publications, she has established a foundational framework for affective robotics in therapeutic settings, creating compassionate technologies that enhance quality of life for society’s most vulnerable members.
