About
Jianling Zou is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of socially assistive robotics (SAR) and pediatric healthcare, with a primary focus on developing human-robot interaction systems to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Her most cited work, "Investigating the Feasibility of a Wizard-of-Oz Robotic Interface (R2C3) in a Social Skills Group for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder" (2025, 2 citations), introduces a novel robotic interface designed to facilitate social skills training in group settings. This study demonstrates the potential of the QTrobot and the Rehabilitation Robotic Companion for Children (R2C3) framework to bridge gaps in traditional therapy by enabling real-time, adaptive interactions. Zou’s major contribution lies in validating the feasibility of using SARs within group dynamics—a critical step toward scalable, cost-effective interventions for ASD. Her work has been recognized for its practical impact, offering a blueprint for integrating robotics into clinical and educational environments. With a growing citation footprint, Zou is establishing herself as a key voice in assistive robotics, pushing the boundaries of how technology can foster social inclusion and developmental growth for vulnerable populations.
