She is active in K-12 educational outreach and the empowerment of girls and women in STEM. A founder of the field of socially assistive robotics, her research is endowing robots with the ability to help people through nonphysical assistance in convalescence, rehabilitation, training and education, scenarios that demand motivation and commitment to challenging behavior change and allow robots to augment instead of automate human ability, thereby also addressing a human-centered future of work. Her research has developed robot-assisted therapies for children with autism spectrum disorders, stroke and traumatic brain injury survivors and individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. She is also Co-Founder of Embodied, Inc.
