About
Cheuk-Chi Lee is a leading researcher at the intersection of developmental robotics, autism intervention, and child psychology. Her most impactful work centers on the use of robot-based interventions to improve gestural communication in Chinese-speaking preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In her landmark 2018 study, cited 67 times, Lee demonstrated that robot-assisted therapy can significantly reduce delays in the production of intransitive gestures—a critical social communication skill—helping children with ASD approach the gestural levels of their typically developing peers. This pioneering research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering scalable, engaging tools for early intervention. Beyond this core contribution, Lee’s work has shaped how therapists and technologists design culturally sensitive, robot-mediated learning environments. Her findings underscore the potential of human-robot interaction to address specific developmental delays, making her a key figure in evidence-based autism research. For students and researchers, Lee’s career exemplifies how interdisciplinary approaches can yield practical, measurable improvements in children’s social and communicative development.
