About

Bolat Tleubayev is a researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, educational technology, and assistive robotics, with a focus on language learning and neurodevelopmental disorders. His most impactful work, "A Comparison of Social Robot to Tablet and Teacher in a New Script Learning Context" (51 citations), addresses the unique challenges of Kazakhstan’s transition from Cyrillic to a Latin-based alphabet, demonstrating how social robots can effectively support literacy acquisition. Tleubayev has also pioneered robot-assisted therapy for children with severe Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), with two key papers (29 and 25 citations) presenting patient-centered interaction designs and observational studies that show the potential of robots to engage nonverbal children in therapeutic play. Additionally, his "CoWriting Kazakh" system (21 citations) extends the CoWriter platform to help populations learn the new script through autonomous social robot interaction. Tleubayev’s work uniquely combines technical innovation with real-world educational and clinical needs, offering scalable solutions for language transition and inclusive therapy. His contributions have significant implications for developing countries undergoing script reform and for improving quality of life for children with complex neurodevelopmental conditions.
