About
Iosif Kartapanis is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction and assistive technologies, with a primary focus on leveraging social robotics for therapeutic interventions in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). His most cited work, "Social Robots as Co-Therapists in Autism Therapy Sessions: A Single-Case Study" (2015), demonstrates the transformative potential of the humanoid robot NAO as a co-therapist for children with ASD. In this influential single-case study involving a 10-year-old boy, Kartapanis showed how robots can enhance engagement, facilitate social communication, and support therapists in delivering more effective interventions. Although his citation count is modest (10 citations), this work represents an important early contribution to the emerging field of robot-assisted therapy, laying groundwork for subsequent studies on human-robot collaboration in clinical settings. Kartapanis’s research bridges robotics, psychology, and special education, offering practical insights into how technology can augment traditional therapeutic approaches. His work continues to inspire researchers exploring the ethical and practical dimensions of deploying social robots in sensitive care environments, particularly for neurodiverse populations.
