About

Romain Maure is a rising voice in socially assistive robotics, with a focus on using human-robot interaction to address pressing societal challenges. His research sits at the intersection of child-robot interaction, participatory design, and gender studies, exploring how robots can serve as tools for social change. Maure’s most cited work, a 2023 study on the participatory design of a social robot for raising awareness of gender inequality among children (9 citations), demonstrates his commitment to co-creating technology with young users. He further probes children’s perceptions through a 2024 study using drawings to uncover preschoolers’ expectations of robots (6 citations), providing actionable insights for designers. His 2025 systematic review on autonomy in socially assistive robotics (4 citations) synthesizes the field’s trajectory, highlighting the delicate balance between robot independence and social acceptability. Though early in his career, Maure’s work stands out for its human-centered, ethically-grounded approach—merging engineering with education and social justice. His contributions are shaping how robots can be designed not just to assist, but to empower and inform the next generation.
