About
Amna Abu-Mukh is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction (HRI), with a focus on socially sustainable robotics for underrepresented communities. Her work bridges the gap between advanced robotic systems and real-world social impact, particularly in culturally sensitive contexts. Her most-cited paper, "Socially Sustainable HRI for Underrepresented Communities: Case Study of Language Learning of Arab Children in Israel" (2025), introduces a groundbreaking framework for deploying social robots in under-resourced environments. This study demonstrates how robots can facilitate language learning among Arab children in Israel, emphasizing population-specific social outcomes rather than technical novelty. By prioritizing community engagement and long-term sustainability, Abu-Mukh challenges the prevailing resource-intensive model of HRI, offering a scalable approach for marginalized groups. Her research has already garnered attention for its ethical and practical implications, with citations highlighting its potential to democratize access to educational technology. Abu-Mukh’s work stands out for its commitment to equity, making her a key voice in the movement toward inclusive, socially conscious robotics.
