About

Natthanicha Sornsuwonrangsee is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and developmental psychology, with a primary focus on leveraging technology to support neurodiverse populations. Her most influential work, "Using Storytelling Robot for Supporting Autistic Children in Theory of Mind" (2019), has garnered 13 citations and stands as a landmark contribution to assistive robotics. In this study, Sornsuwonrangsee demonstrated how socially assistive robots can be programmed to deliver narrative-based interventions that help autistic children develop Theory of Mind—the ability to understand others' mental states. By integrating storytelling with robotic interaction, she created a novel, engaging platform that bridges gaps in traditional therapeutic approaches, offering a scalable and consistent tool for educators and clinicians. Her research not only advances human-robot interaction but also provides empirical evidence for the efficacy of robotic companions in special education settings. Sornsuwonrangsee’s work continues to inspire interdisciplinary collaborations, highlighting the transformative potential of technology in fostering social cognition and inclusion for autistic individuals.
