About
Intissar Salhi is a researcher at the intersection of social robotics, human-robot interaction, and assistive technology, with a particular focus on developing intelligent robotic systems to support individuals with autism spectrum disorders. Her work centers on designing and deploying socially assistive robots in therapeutic and educational contexts, addressing a critical gap in accessible, technology-driven rehabilitation for children with special needs. Salhi's most impactful contribution, "Towards Robot-Assisted Therapy for Children With Autism," has garnered 24 citations since its 2022 publication, demonstrating significant interest from the research community. In this work, she pioneered the integration of ontological knowledge models with reinforcement learning algorithms to enable robots to adapt dynamically to the therapeutic needs of autistic children. Her complementary research on socially assistive robot therapy for pedagogical rehabilitation further extends these principles into educational settings, while her explorations of multilingual human-robot verbal communication highlight her commitment to inclusive, cross-cultural solutions. Salhi's broader research agenda — encompassing humanoid teaching assistants and knowledge-based learning models — reflects a vision of robots not merely as technological novelties, but as meaningful partners in health care and education. Her work offers a promising foundation for researchers and practitioners seeking to harness robotics for social good.
