About
Dr. Nikolaos Zygouris is a leading researcher in the intersection of educational technology, special education, and human-robot interaction. His primary focus lies in leveraging socially assistive robots (SARs) to support neurodiverse populations, particularly children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). His most cited work, a systematic review examining the NAO social robot’s role in enhancing communication skills in children with ASD, provides a critical longitudinal analysis spanning from 2013 to 2025. This contribution synthesizes a decade of research, offering a comprehensive framework for evaluating how robotic interventions evolve across distinct technological and pedagogical eras. With 4 citations, this paper serves as a foundational reference for scholars designing robot-assisted therapies. Dr. Zygouris’s work is notable for bridging the gap between cutting-edge robotics and practical, evidence-based interventions in special education. His research not only charts the efficacy of tools like NAO but also identifies key methodological shifts, informing future studies on human-robot interaction. For students and researchers, his profile exemplifies how technology can be harnessed to create inclusive, adaptive learning environments for individuals with diverse needs.
