About
Dr. Norjasweeen Abdul Malik is a pioneering researcher in assistive robotics and human-robot interaction, with a focused commitment to improving therapeutic outcomes for children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Her key research areas include social robotics, pediatric rehabilitation, and interactive scenario design for assistive technology. Her most-cited work, "Human-Robot Interaction for Children with Cerebral Palsy: Reflection and Suggestion for Interactive Scenario Design" (2015, 23 citations), demonstrates how the humanoid robot NAO can serve as a motivational tool in therapy for children with cerebral palsy. Dr. Malik’s major contribution lies in identifying critical design principles—such as appropriate robot appearance and engagement strategies—that keep young patients actively involved in repetitive therapeutic exercises. This work has laid a foundation for integrating socially assistive robots into clinical settings, offering a compassionate, technology-driven approach to pediatric rehabilitation. Her research not only advances the field of human-robot interaction but also provides practical, evidence-based suggestions for therapists and engineers. Dr. Malik’s insights continue to inspire new interactive scenarios that make therapy more effective and enjoyable for children with motor impairments.
