About
Edward Kaszubski is a researcher at the intersection of robotics and human development, whose work has pioneered new pathways for assistive technology in pediatric care. His primary research areas center on socially assistive robotics, human-robot interaction, and the application of autonomous systems to support children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Kaszubski’s most impactful contribution is his seminal study on “Graded cueing feedback in robot-mediated imitation practice for children with autism spectrum disorders” (2014), which has garnered 80 citations. In this work, he demonstrated how a humanoid robot could deliver the minimum required feedback—a graded cueing strategy—during imitation games with 12 high-functioning children with ASD, ages 7 to 10. This approach proved effective in promoting social engagement and motor skill development, offering a scalable, patient-specific intervention. Additionally, his overview of the “Building Blocks of Social Intelligence” (2014) synthesized the control, recognition, and learning techniques used at USC’s Interaction Lab to enable autonomous, socially intelligent robots. Kaszubski’s work stands as a foundational bridge between robotics engineering and therapeutic practice, highlighting the profound potential of autonomous systems to enhance human well-being.
