About
Aurosweta Mahapatra is a researcher at the intersection of child development, speech technology, and human-robot interaction. Her work focuses on understanding how children communicate with social robots, particularly in educational settings. Her most notable contribution is the creation of the JIBO Kids Corpus, a pioneering speech dataset capturing interactions between 110 children aged 4–7 and the JIBO social robot during letter and digit identification tasks, as well as extended oral discourse exercises. This resource, detailed in her 2024 paper, is invaluable for advancing automatic speech recognition systems tailored to young speakers and for studying how children explain concepts to non-human interlocutors. While her work is still emerging, with her key paper already garnering citations, Mahapatra’s research lays critical groundwork for designing more effective, child-friendly educational technologies and socially aware robots. Her contributions are particularly significant for researchers in developmental robotics, child-computer interaction, and spoken language processing, offering a rich dataset that bridges the gap between naturalistic child speech and AI-driven interaction.
