About
Seokwoo Song’s research lies at the intersection of assistive robotics, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and smart media interventions for children with neurodevelopmental disorders. His work focuses on developing technology-mediated solutions to address critical communication and emotional expression deficits in nonverbal children and those with High-Functioning Autism (HFA). His most cited paper (20 citations) introduces a robot-based AAC system designed to facilitate communication for nonverbal children with communication disorders, demonstrating how robotic platforms can serve as dynamic, engaging tools in therapeutic settings. In a related study (7 citations), Song explored the use of smart media—including tablet PCs and robots—to deliver emotional story interventions that help children with HFA build a richer lexical representation of emotions, a core challenge for this population. By integrating robotics with evidence-based language therapy, Song’s contributions highlight the potential of human-robot interaction to enhance social and communicative outcomes. His work is notable for bridging engineering and clinical practice, offering scalable, interactive solutions that empower children with limited verbal abilities to express themselves more effectively.
