About
Gholamali Afrooz is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of child psychology and human-robot interaction, with a focused expertise in developing innovative interventions for child sexual abuse prevention. His major contributions center on designing, implementing, and evaluating robot-based psychological programs that empower children with self-care knowledge and skills. In his seminal 2021 work, cited 8 times, Afrooz demonstrated the effectiveness of a smart robot intervention in improving children's awareness and defensive capabilities against sexual abuse. He further refined this approach in a 2023 study (3 citations) by systematically designing and assessing a comprehensive robot-led psychological program for child sexual care. Most recently, in 2024, he validated a robot-based intervention specifically targeting the prevention of inappropriate touching, with the trial registered in the International Clinical Trial Registry Platform (ISRCTN17186302). Afrooz’s work is notable for its translational impact—bridging advanced robotics with sensitive clinical needs—and for establishing a novel, scalable paradigm in child safety education. His research has laid critical groundwork for technology-assisted psychological interventions, offering a replicable model that addresses a pressing global health issue while accumulating a growing citation footprint in this emerging field.
