About

Dr. Jorge Duque is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of assistive robotics and communication disorders, dedicated to developing intelligent technologies that empower individuals with disabilities. His work focuses on leveraging robotic assistants and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to support evaluation, therapy, and education for People With Communication Disorders (PWCD). His most-cited paper, "A robotic assistant to support the development of communication skills of children with disabilities" (2016, 5 citations), introduces a novel robotic platform designed to enhance social and communicative abilities in children, addressing the critical challenge of integrating adaptable, user-friendly tools into therapeutic settings. Duque’s contributions stand out for their emphasis on practical, inclusive design—ensuring that robotic systems can be seamlessly incorporated into existing educational and clinical workflows. By bridging robotics with speech-language pathology, his work has laid groundwork for more accessible, engaging interventions. Though his citation count is modest, the targeted impact of his research on specialized assistive technologies underscores its value for practitioners and researchers seeking to harness robotics for social inclusion and developmental support.
