About
Dr. Mariam Almarzoqi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of assistive robotics and developmental psychology, with a primary focus on leveraging technology to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Her most cited work, "Avatar based interaction therapy: A potential therapeutic approach for children with Autism" (2017, 13 citations), represents a foundational contribution to the field of human-robot interaction for therapeutic purposes. In this study, Dr. Almarzoqi designed a novel robotic-avatar system and demonstrated its efficacy by comparing response levels in healthy children, laying critical groundwork for non-pharmacological interventions that address the core social and communication deficits of ASD. Her research is characterized by a compassionate, user-centered approach that bridges engineering and clinical practice, aiming to create accessible, engaging tools for early intervention. While her citation count reflects the emerging nature of this niche field, the conceptual impact of her work is significant, as it has inspired subsequent studies on avatar-mediated therapy and robot-assisted learning. Dr. Almarzoqi’s contributions are particularly notable for their potential to transform therapeutic paradigms, offering scalable, interactive solutions that empower children with autism to develop essential social skills in a safe, controlled environment.
