About
Manon de Korte is a researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and developmental robotics, with a primary focus on leveraging social robots to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Her most cited work, "The Effects of Long-Term Child–Robot Interaction on the Attention and the Engagement of Children with Autism" (2020, 34 citations), critically examines how the quality of interaction between a child with ASD and a robot influences therapeutic outcomes. By moving beyond short-term studies, de Korte investigates the nuanced dynamics of sustained engagement, revealing that while robots can enhance attention and motivation, the effectiveness of therapy hinges on the depth of the relational bond formed. Her contributions are pivotal in shaping how robotic interventions are designed for neurodiverse populations, emphasizing personalized, long-term interaction strategies over one-size-fits-all approaches. This work has significant implications for the development of assistive technologies in clinical and educational settings, positioning de Korte as a key voice in evidence-based robot-assisted therapy. Her research not only advances the field of social robotics but also provides practical insights for practitioners working with children on the autism spectrum.
