About
Dr. Manu Kohli is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, rehabilitation, and neurodevelopmental disorders, with a primary focus on leveraging technology to support children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Their most influential work, a comprehensive 10-year scoping review on robot-facilitated rehabilitation for children with ASD (2022, 12 citations), systematically maps the evolving landscape of human-robot interaction in early intervention. This seminal contribution addresses a critical global healthcare gap—the severe shortage of skilled clinicians and infrastructure for labour-intensive early intervention programmes—by evaluating how robot-mediated therapies can deliver scalable, consistent, and engaging support during the most advantageous developmental window (the first three years). Dr. Kohli’s research synthesizes evidence on how robotic systems can augment traditional therapies, offering novel pathways for social skill development and communication in ASD children. Their work stands out for bridging engineering and clinical practice, providing a foundational roadmap for future technology-driven interventions. By highlighting both the promise and limitations of current robotic applications, Dr. Kohli has established themselves as a key voice in the movement toward accessible, technology-enhanced care for neurodiverse populations.
