About
Lafifa Jamal is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on healthcare applications. Her most impactful work, a systematic review on "Robotics and artificial intelligence in healthcare during COVID-19 pandemic" (2021), has garnered 192 citations, establishing her as a leading voice in pandemic-response technologies. Beyond this, Jamal's innovative behavioral study on social robots—exploring how greeting gestures influence trust and recommendation acceptance in cross-cultural contexts—demonstrates her commitment to understanding the nuanced dynamics between humans and machines. Her work with the NAO robot, designing culturally-informed gestures, has advanced the field of socially assistive robotics. Jamal's research not only addresses pressing global health challenges but also deepens our understanding of how robots can build meaningful, trust-based relationships with humans. Her contributions are shaping the future of human-robot collaboration, making her a notable figure in both robotics and AI ethics.
