About

Srinjita Bhaduri is a researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, educational technology, and social robotics, with a focus on designing technologies that support children’s emotional and social development. Her most-cited work, “HugBot” (2019, 22 citations), explores how robots can be designed for emotional interaction with children, addressing the unique sensitivity and vulnerability of young users. This research contributes to the growing field of socially assistive robotics, emphasizing the need for robots that provide social and emotional support rather than purely functional assistance. Bhaduri’s work has been recognized for its human-centered approach, bridging engineering and child psychology to create more empathetic technologies. Beyond “HugBot,” her broader contributions include investigating how interactive systems can foster learning and well-being in educational contexts. With a citation impact that highlights the relevance of her work, Bhaduri is shaping the future of child-robot interaction, making her a notable voice in designing technology that cares.
