About
Rosemarijn Looije is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on designing socially intelligent robots that improve health and well-being. Her work centers on child-robot interaction, persuasive robotics for health self-management, and adaptive social behaviors. Looije’s major contributions include developing robots that build long-term social bonds with children, particularly those with chronic conditions like Type 1 diabetes, and creating models for adaptive emotional expression that allow robots to respond to users’ affective states. Her most cited paper, “Persuasive robotic assistant for health self-management of older adults” (246 citations), demonstrates her impact in designing social behaviors for health contexts. She also contributed to the ALIZ-E project, which advanced sustainable long-term social interaction between robots and children. Looije’s work on child-robot interaction in real-world settings, such as hospitals, has provided valuable insights for deploying social robots outside the lab. With over 1,300 citations across her top papers, her research has shaped the field of socially assistive robotics, inspiring new approaches to using robots as personalized health educators and companions.
