About
Dr. Susan Liu is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of assistive robotics and pediatric rehabilitation, with a focus on developing interactive technologies for children with developmental disabilities. Her most-cited work, "Pilot Observations of an Autonomous Red Light, Green Light Robot for Interactions with Children with Disabilities" (2024), introduces a novel robotic system designed to promote physical activity and social engagement through a familiar game format. This early-stage study demonstrates how autonomous robots can provide motivating, repeatable, and adaptable interventions for the approximately 7% of U.S. infants born with developmental disabilities affecting motor and social skills. Though her work is still emerging—with 2 citations to date—Dr. Liu's contributions are notable for bridging human-robot interaction with inclusive design, offering a scalable approach to therapy that reduces reliance on human therapists. Her research holds promise for transforming how assistive technologies support children with disabilities, emphasizing autonomy, engagement, and accessibility. As a rising voice in rehabilitation robotics, Dr. Liu’s work is poised to influence both clinical practice and the design of child-friendly robotic systems.
