About
Maria Dialechti Kerasidou is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of social robotics and special education, with a primary focus on developing robot-assisted interventions for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Her work centers on leveraging social robots as therapeutic tools to enhance communication, emotional regulation, and social engagement in neurodiverse populations. Her most impactful study, "Effectiveness of a Robot-Assisted Psychological Intervention for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder" (2022), has garnered 46 citations, demonstrating significant influence in the field. Kerasidou has advanced the concept of multi-robot systems in ASD interventions, exploring how multiple robots can create more dynamic and responsive therapeutic environments. She has also investigated linguistic cues for developing empathetic robots, aiming to make human-robot interactions more natural and effective during therapy. Additionally, her work on robot-assisted relaxation training addresses the critical need for stress-reduction techniques in ASD interventions. Through these contributions, Kerasidou is shaping the future of assistive technology, showing how carefully designed robotic systems can complement traditional therapies and improve quality of life for children with autism.
