About
Nasim Mahboub Basiri is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of educational technology, human-robot interaction, and special needs education. Her work focuses on leveraging humanoid social robots as therapeutic and pedagogical tools for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), particularly in foreign language acquisition. In her landmark study, "The Effect of Applying Humanoid Robots as Teacher Assistants to Help Iranian Autistic Pupils Learn English as a Foreign Language" (50 citations), she demonstrated how robots can serve as effective teacher assistants, improving engagement and learning outcomes for autistic children. Her subsequent work, "Impact of Humanoid Social Robots on Treatment of a Pair of Iranian Autistic Twins" (19 citations), explored robot-assisted interventions for twins with varying levels of functioning, highlighting the potential for personalized, technology-driven therapy. Basiri’s contributions are notable for bridging robotics, applied linguistics, and clinical intervention, offering scalable, low-cost solutions for autism support in non-Western contexts. Her research has significant implications for inclusive education and assistive technology, inspiring further studies on socially assistive robots in therapeutic settings.
