About

Sakriani Sakti is a leading researcher in spoken dialogue systems, human-robot interaction, and multimodal emotional intelligence, with a focus on assistive technologies for aging populations. Her work bridges natural language processing, affective computing, and robotics to create socially aware agents capable of empathetic, cooperative communication. Notably, her 2022 study on eliciting cooperative persuasive dialogue through multimodal emotional robots (8 citations) demonstrates how robots can adapt tone, gesture, and speech to influence human behavior positively. Earlier, she developed a spoken dialogue robot for monitoring elderly daily life (2021, 3 citations), integrating speech recognition and dialogue management to support independent living. These contributions advance the design of companion robots that understand and respond to human emotional states, with applications in healthcare and social care. Her research has been recognized for its practical impact on human-robot trust and engagement, and she continues to shape the field through interdisciplinary collaborations that combine linguistics, computer science, and robotics.
