About
Kerim Dincel is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, specializing in the design of social robots for health and education. His work centers on leveraging multimodal interaction—combining speech, gesture, and physical presence—to enhance human well-being and learning outcomes. Dincel’s major contribution is the development of Neffy, an anthropomorphic social robot that supports slow-paced breathing exercises for stress reduction. Neffy, an evolution of the earlier Ommie prototype from Yale University, is notable for its sustainable design, integrating eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient components. This work has garnered early attention, with 6 citations since 2025, signaling its potential impact in therapeutic robotics. Additionally, Dincel explores the role of humour in educational robots, as seen in his 2024 study on a robot-led Scrumban simulation in business education, which received 3 citations. His research bridges engineering, psychology, and pedagogy, offering practical tools for stress management and engaging learning environments. Dincel’s innovative approach to sustainable, emotionally intelligent robots positions him as a rising voice in socially assistive robotics, with implications for mental health support and interactive education.
