About
Dr. Husna Hassan Basri is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of assistive robotics and pediatric rehabilitation, with a primary focus on leveraging humanoid robots to improve therapeutic outcomes for children with cerebral palsy (CP). Her major contributions center on designing interactive scenarios that use robots—specifically the NAO humanoid—as motivational tools to sustain children’s engagement during repetitive therapy sessions, addressing critical challenges like spasticity, muscle weakness, and poor motor function. Her two most-cited works, both from 2015, each with 23 citations, provide foundational insights into the "ups and downs" of clinical robot deployment, offering practical reflections on robot appearance, interaction design, and real-world therapeutic integration. These studies have shaped how clinicians and engineers approach human-robot interaction for CP, highlighting the delicate balance between technological capability and child-centered care. Dr. Basri’s work stands out for its direct clinical relevance and its nuanced understanding of how assistive technology must adapt to the emotional and physical needs of young patients. Her research continues to influence the development of engaging, robot-assisted therapy protocols, making her a key voice in the growing field of socially assistive robotics for pediatric neurorehabilitation.
