About

Mariane Shhaitly is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and assistive technology, with a focus on enhancing communication between robots and humans. Her major contribution lies in the development of flexible display technology as a robotic-skin-interface, a novel approach that transforms how robots express intent and emotion. In her highly cited co-design study (2024, 11 citations), Shhaitly demonstrated how integrating flexible screens into robotic surfaces can create more intuitive and accessible communication channels, particularly for users with diverse needs. This work has significant implications for social robotics, healthcare, and education, where clear non-verbal cues are critical. Her research is notable for its user-centered design methodology, actively involving stakeholders—including individuals with disabilities—in the development process. Shhaitly’s contributions are shaping the future of empathetic robotics, bridging the gap between technical innovation and real-world application.
