About

Miad Al Qahtani is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of educational technology, social robotics, and behavioral intervention. Her most notable contribution is the development of a novel robot framework designed to address the pervasive issue of bullying in Saudi public schools. This framework, detailed in her 2020 paper "Robot Framework for Anti-Bullying in Saudi Schools," proposes a proactive, technology-driven solution to a deeply entrenched social problem. By leveraging human-robot interaction, Al Qahtani’s work offers a scalable and engaging tool for schools to detect and mitigate bullying, moving beyond traditional reactive measures. Her research has garnered attention, with this paper accumulating 6 citations, signaling its relevance to both educational practitioners and technologists. Al Qahtani’s work is particularly significant for its culturally specific application, adapting global anti-bullying strategies to the unique context of Saudi Arabia. Her contributions open new avenues for using robotics not just in STEM education, but as a direct agent for social and emotional learning, marking her as an emerging voice in the field of socially assistive robotics.
