About
Dr. Siti Nora Basir is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of assistive robotics and tactile sensing technology. Her work is defined by two complementary pillars: developing social robots for therapeutic interventions and advancing sensor technology for robotic manipulation. In her highly cited 2013 study on human-robot interaction, Dr. Basir explored how humanoid robots like NAO can facilitate social engagement for children with autism spectrum disorder, addressing core deficits in social interaction and communication. This work, with 28 citations, has contributed to the growing field of robot-assisted therapy as a behavioral intervention tool. Simultaneously, Dr. Basir has made significant contributions to robotic haptics through her research on optical three-axis tactile sensors. Her 2013 paper on tactile slippage analysis in multi-fingered robotic hands, which achieved 4 citations, demonstrates her technical expertise in enabling robots to detect and respond to object handling motions with greater precision. By bridging social robotics and sensor engineering, Dr. Basir’s research addresses both the human and technical dimensions of robotics, offering practical solutions for therapeutic applications and dexterous manipulation. Her work continues to inspire students and researchers at the intersection of robotics, human-computer interaction, and assistive technology.
