About
Andreas Jansen is a leading researcher at the intersection of social robotics, cognitive neuroscience, and clinical psychology, with a particular focus on human-robot interaction (HRI) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). His most cited work, a 2013 eye-tracking study, fundamentally advanced our understanding of how individuals with Asperger’s syndrome engage with social robots compared to human actors. By demonstrating distinct gaze behavior patterns, Jansen provided critical evidence that social robots can serve as uniquely effective tools for therapeutic interventions, offering a less socially demanding interaction medium for individuals on the spectrum. This landmark paper has garnered 43 citations and remains a cornerstone in the field of assistive robotics. Beyond this, Jansen’s broader contributions explore how technical systems can be designed to improve user experience and therapeutic outcomes, bridging engineering and clinical practice. His work not only informs the development of more responsive, adaptive social robots but also shapes how these technologies are deployed in real-world therapeutic settings, making him a pivotal figure in translating robotic systems into meaningful, evidence-based clinical applications.
