About
Dr. Susan Bruck is a leading researcher at the intersection of educational technology, human-robot interaction, and autism support. Her work focuses on the practical deployment of socially-assistive robots (SARs) as learning tools for students on the autism spectrum, with a particular emphasis on overcoming real-world barriers to classroom adoption. In her highly cited 2022 study, Bruck investigated educator perspectives and conducted a pilot trial of a mobile platform designed to remove implementation obstacles, demonstrating that while SARs show promising results for tailoring instruction to diverse learning styles and interests, widespread adoption remains limited. Her research bridges the critical gap between technological potential and classroom reality, addressing the practical, pedagogical, and attitudinal challenges that prevent schools from integrating these innovative tools. With 15 citations on this pivotal work alone, Bruck’s contributions are shaping how researchers and practitioners approach the design and deployment of assistive technologies in special education. Her findings have direct implications for inclusive education, offering evidence-based pathways for making adaptive, robot-assisted learning accessible to the students who need it most.
