About
Dr. Napasara Asawalertsak is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of assistive robotics and child development, with a primary focus on supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other special needs. Her most notable contribution is the development and evaluation of a daily routine game integrated with the BLISS robot, designed to enhance personal-social development in children facing behavioral challenges. This innovative work, published in 2019 and garnering 7 citations, directly addresses the chronic stress experienced by parents who must manage their child’s difficulties with everyday tasks. By leveraging human-robot interaction, Dr. Asawalertsak’s research demonstrates how structured, engaging robotic platforms can foster independence and social skills in vulnerable populations. Her approach not only advances therapeutic interventions but also provides a scalable, technology-driven solution for families and educators. Through her focused work on the BLISS robot, she has established herself as a key contributor to the growing field of socially assistive robotics, offering practical tools that bridge the gap between clinical research and real-world application. Her dedication to improving quality of life for children with special needs and their caregivers marks her as a compassionate and impactful innovator.
