About

Muhammad Zaiyad Muda is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, with a focused expertise in using social robotics for cognitive and special education applications. His work centers on leveraging the NAO humanoid robot as a platform for developing interactive systems that bridge technology and human behavior. Muda’s major contributions include pioneering methods for programming NAO robots to facilitate cognitive interaction, as demonstrated in his most-cited paper, "Programming platform for NAO robot in cognitive interaction applications" (12 citations). This work explores the use of Choregraphe software to enable Python-based motion control, making advanced robotics accessible for behavioral studies. He further advanced this field with his notable paper, "Experimental Framework for the Categorization of Special Education Programs of ASKNAO" (5 citations), where he developed a systematic framework to categorize autism-focused applications—ASKNAO—into key subscales of Communication, Social Skills, and Repetitive Behavior. This achievement highlights his commitment to translating robotic technology into practical tools for special education, offering a structured approach to supporting individuals with autism. Muda’s research, though early in citation impact, lays essential groundwork for integrating robotics into therapeutic and educational contexts, marking him as an innovator in assistive robotics.
