About
Jessied Maria Marriaga Shaik is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of affective computing and human-robot interaction (HRI). Her work centers on endowing robots with the capacity to perceive, interpret, and express emotions, fundamentally rethinking how machines can engage with humans. In her most-cited study, "Intelligent Execution of Behaviors in a NAO Robot Exposed to Audiovisual Stimulus" (2018, 14 citations), she demonstrated how a NAO robot could intelligently execute behavioral responses to audiovisual stimuli, using emotional cues as a central mechanism for more natural interaction. This work contributes to a growing body of evidence that emotion-driven architectures can significantly enhance the quality of HRI. By exploring how robots can respond to human emotional states in real time, Shaik’s research lays critical groundwork for applications in assistive robotics, education, and therapeutic settings. Her contributions are shaping a future where robots are not just tools, but empathetic partners capable of understanding and reacting to the nuanced emotional landscapes of their human counterparts.
