About
Jonas Frenkel is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and developmental psychology, with a primary focus on assistive technologies for autistic children. His most cited work, a 2025 study on stakeholder acceptance of robot-assisted social training, directly addresses a critical gap in the field: while robot-assisted therapy (RAT) shows promise for children on the autism spectrum, prior research suffered from methodological weaknesses regarding real-world acceptance. Frenkel’s study rigorously compares a RAT scenario against a tablet-computer-based approach, providing empirical evidence on how parents, therapists, and educators perceive these interventions. This contribution is vital for translating lab-based robotics into practical, accepted therapeutic tools. Though his citation count is currently modest at 3, the recency and targeted nature of his work signal strong potential for future impact, especially as the demand for evidence-based, technology-driven autism interventions grows. Frenkel’s research stands out for its stakeholder-centered methodology, ensuring that technological innovation aligns with the needs and comfort of those it aims to serve.
