About
Dr. Olga Sans is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of social robotics and special education, with a primary focus on developing assistive technologies for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Her most cited work centers on the implementation of "Hookie," a robotic assistant designed to monitor and foster learning activities in children with high-functioning ASD. This innovative social robot has been successfully deployed in real-world therapeutic settings, most notably at the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital in Barcelona, where it has proven effective in social and educational interventions. Dr. Sans’s research demonstrates the tangible impact of human-robot interaction in clinical environments, bridging the gap between technological development and practical therapeutic application. Her work has also extended to the Ann Sullivan Center of Panama (CASPAN) and the Technological University of Panama, showcasing the international reach and applicability of her contributions. With a growing citation count reflecting the relevance of her applied research, Dr. Sans is establishing herself as a key figure in the field of socially assistive robotics, dedicated to creating meaningful, evidence-based tools that enhance developmental outcomes for children with autism.
