About
Manaswi Saha is a researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI) and accessible computing, with a focus on how robots can better understand and respond to human behavior. Their key contributions lie in exploring anticipatory human reactions—such as subtle behavioral cues—to enable robots to predict outcomes and avoid errors during interaction. In their influential work, “Bad Idea, Right?” Saha investigates how humans naturally signal impending mistakes through observable reactions, proposing that robots can leverage these cues to improve collaboration and safety. This research has garnered attention for its novel approach to making HRI more intuitive and responsive. Beyond this, Saha’s broader work addresses accessibility challenges, particularly for people with disabilities, aiming to design robots that are inclusive and adaptive. With over 1,000 citations across their publications, Saha’s impact is evident in both the HRI and assistive technology communities. Their achievements include contributions to top venues like ACM CHI and HRI, as well as recognition for advancing socially aware robotics. Saha’s work continues to shape how robots perceive and react to human behavior, paving the way for more empathetic and effective human-robot partnerships.
