About

Elham Ranjbar is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the design and development of socially assistive robots, with a particular focus on human-robot interaction. Her most notable contribution is the conception, fabrication, and evaluation of the “Maya” social robot, a platform designed to engage with humans in therapeutic, educational, and entertainment contexts. This work, which has garnered 5 citations, details the complete engineering lifecycle—from mechanical design to user interaction testing—showcasing her hands-on approach to creating robots that are both functional and approachable. By bridging the gap between technical robotics and real-world human needs, Ranjbar’s research helps lay the groundwork for robots that can serve as companions or assistants in sensitive settings like therapy and education. Her work on Maya represents a significant step toward making social robots more accessible and effective, contributing to a growing body of knowledge that aims to integrate these machines into everyday human life.
