About

Rabiah Arshad’s research lies at the compelling intersection of robotics, human-computer interaction, and assistive technology, with a particular focus on applications for neurodevelopmental disorders. Her most impactful work explores how humanoid robots can serve as technological tools to assess and enhance social attention and engagement in autistic children. In her widely cited 2020 review, Arshad synthesized emerging evidence that robot-based interventions may improve engagement and attention in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), while critically noting the significant variability in methodological approaches across studies. This work has garnered 13 citations, reflecting its growing influence in the field of socially assistive robotics. Earlier in her career, Arshad contributed to mobile robotics with her 2010 paper on developing a real-time tracking and control system using video capturing for unmanned applications. That work, which employed a wheel-based robot with RF wireless communication, has been cited 5 times and demonstrates her foundational expertise in autonomous systems. Together, her research bridges engineering innovation with meaningful social impact, positioning her as a thoughtful voice in the development of technology for vulnerable populations.
