About

Dr. Nurfarahain Mohd Saleh is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of assistive robotics and developmental disorders, with a focused expertise in human-robot interaction for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) interventions. Her most cited work, "Autism children: Cost and benefit analysis of using humanoid in Malaysia" (2014), represents a foundational contribution to the field, providing one of the first systematic evaluations of humanoid robot-assisted therapy for autistic children in a Southeast Asian context. With 5 citations, this study critically examines the economic viability and therapeutic efficacy of deploying humanoid platforms as intervention tools, addressing the critical gap where no single cure exists for the heterogeneous syndrome. Dr. Saleh's research demonstrates how robotic assistance can enhance quality of life for autistic individuals by offering structured, predictable, and engaging therapeutic interactions. Her work is particularly notable for bridging cost-benefit analysis with clinical application, offering practical insights for healthcare systems in developing nations. By quantifying both the financial implications and therapeutic outcomes of humanoid use, she has laid essential groundwork for evidence-based policy decisions in special education and rehabilitation technology. Dr. Saleh continues to advance the discourse on accessible, technology-driven interventions for neurodevelopmental conditions.
