About
Marie Segretain is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of socially assistive robotics (SAR) and pediatric neurodevelopmental care. Her primary research focuses on developing and evaluating human-robot interaction frameworks to support social skills training for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Her most notable contribution is the design and feasibility testing of the "Wizard-of-Oz Robotic Interface (R2C3)"—a novel system enabling remote, intuitive control of the QTrobot within group therapy settings. This work, published in 2025, directly addresses a critical gap by examining how SARs can function effectively in dynamic, multi-child environments rather than one-on-one sessions. While her work is early-stage, with 2 citations to date, its innovative methodology and practical focus on group dynamics mark a significant step toward scalable, real-world clinical applications. Segretain’s research is distinguished by its commitment to ecological validity, bridging engineering and clinical psychology to create tools that are both technically robust and therapeutically viable. Her findings are already informing the design of next-generation rehabilitation robotic companions, positioning her as an emerging leader in child-robot interaction.
