About

Dr. Patrick Then Hang Hui is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of assistive robotics and human-computer interaction, with a focused commitment to improving the lives of children with disabilities. His seminal work, "Robotics for Assisting Children with Physical and Cognitive Disabilities" (2015), stands as a cornerstone in the field, systematically reviewing and synthesizing global robotics research from 2009 to 2013. This highly cited chapter (7 citations) provides a critical framework for understanding how robotic technologies can address impairments in motor skills, locomotion, and social interaction—conditions commonly affecting children with cognitive and physical challenges. Dr. Then’s contributions have helped bridge the gap between engineering innovation and therapeutic practice, offering tangible pathways for robotic assistance in pediatric rehabilitation and special education. His research not only maps the technological landscape but also highlights the profound potential of human-robot interaction to foster independence and social engagement in vulnerable populations. Through his work, Dr. Then has established himself as a key voice in assistive robotics, inspiring further exploration into compassionate, child-centered technological solutions.
