About
Sarah Afiqah Mohd Zabidi is a rising researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI) and assistive technology, with a focused interest in supporting neurodiverse populations. Her most-cited work, "Initial Response in HRI: A Pilot Study on Autism Spectrum Disorder Children Interacting with a Humanoid QTrobot" (2023, 6 citations), provides foundational insights into how children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) engage with socially assistive robots. This pilot study demonstrates her ability to design and evaluate real-world interventions, offering early evidence that humanoid robots like QTrobot can facilitate positive initial responses in therapeutic or educational settings. While her citation count is still growing, Zabidi’s contribution is notable for its practical implications—bridging robotics, psychology, and special education. By focusing on the nuanced behavioral cues of ASD children during first-time interactions, she helps pave the way for more adaptive, empathetic robotic systems. Her work is particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring how technology can be tailored to individual cognitive and social needs, marking her as a thoughtful voice in the emerging field of inclusive robotics.
