About
Chiara Vago is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of developmental psychology and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Her most-cited paper, "The Challenge of Studying Interaction in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder during Play Activity with a Robotic Platform" (2019), has garnered 9 citations, reflecting its niche yet significant contribution to understanding how robotic platforms can facilitate social engagement in children with ASD. Vago’s research addresses the methodological and practical challenges of analyzing dyadic interactions during play, offering insights into how robots can serve as tools for both assessment and intervention. By bridging robotics and clinical psychology, she has helped pave the way for more nuanced studies of non-verbal communication and joint attention in neurodiverse populations. Her work is particularly notable for its emphasis on naturalistic play settings, moving beyond controlled lab environments to capture authentic behavioral dynamics. Vago’s contributions are valuable for researchers and practitioners seeking to design inclusive technologies that support social skill development, making her a key voice in the growing field of socially assistive robotics.
