About
Carlos Marques‐Neves is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) interventions. His work centers on understanding how robot predictability and behavior variance influence engagement and social skill development in autistic children. In his highly cited 2021 study, "Predictable Robots for Autistic Children," Marques‐Neves demonstrated that while robots can be programmed to meet autistic individuals’ need for predictability, the idiosyncrasies of each child’s characteristics critically shape child-robot engagement. This insight challenges one-size-fits-all approaches and has garnered 18 citations, underscoring its impact on the field. His research bridges robotics, psychology, and special education, offering evidence-based guidelines for designing adaptive, personalized robotic systems. Marques‐Neves’s contributions are pivotal for advancing robot-assisted therapies that are both effective and respectful of neurodiversity, making him a key figure in socially assistive robotics.
