When Rebecca Ramnauth talks about AI and robots, she doesn’t speak about whether they will replace human tasks or facilitate more efficient teaching and learning. Instead, she discusses the ways in which AI and robots can help us better connect with one another as humans.
A doctoral candidate working at the Yale Social Robotics Lab in Connecticut, Ramnauth has dedicated her career to building robots as tools for understanding how people work. A key part of her research is studying how robots and AI can be used to support people better in general, but specifically people with autism.
