About

Setareh Aghel Manesh is a researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, pediatric healthcare, and pervasive gaming. Her most cited work, "Medi, human robot interaction in pediatric health" (2014, 9 citations), introduces an empathetic robot companion designed to reduce anxiety and stress in children undergoing medical procedures like blood draws. This contribution highlights her focus on leveraging social robotics to improve patient experiences and coping mechanisms. Her second most cited paper, "Designing an immersive and entertaining pervasive gameplay experience with spheros as game and interface elements" (2014, 7 citations), explores novel, natural interfaces for robotic game elements, pushing the boundaries of interactive entertainment. Together, these works demonstrate her commitment to creating technology that is both compassionate and engaging, blending robotics with real-world applications in health and play. Aghel Manesh’s research offers valuable insights for students and researchers interested in designing robots that support emotional well-being and foster intuitive human-robot interactions, particularly in sensitive contexts like pediatric care.
