Research for Social Change
The work of this knowledge area explores the intersection between research and application. How do the successes and lessons learned in controlled settings translate into real-world applications in long-term relationships and sustained engagement?
In-Home Deployments
In-Home Deployments
Several studies have deployed fully autonomous SAR systems in children's homes for months or more. The work demonstrates the feasibility of long-term autonomous interventions and shows that sustained engagement could lead to measurable cognitive gains in children on the autism spectrum. NOIRE explores lessons learned from the design of SARS to develop more robust, real-world-ready systems that operate in noisy environments over the long term.
The Landscape
Schools and Specialized Education Centers
Schools and Specialized Education Centers
SARS has been deployed in schools and specialised settings in Colorado, Norway, and the UK. Robots, such as ROSA, KASPAR, and MISTY, are being used to enhance social skills, improve emotional regulation, and support educational or therapeutic routines by providing consistent, nonjudgmental interaction.
Care Facilities and Therapeutic Centers
Bancroft in New Jersey, and St. Joseph's in Philadelphia have partnered with Pepper with adults with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities in various assisted living facilities. NOIRE explores the outcomes.

Major universities around the country are focusing on enhancing human life through human-robot interactions. The major hubs include USC, Yale's Social Robotics lab, Canegie mellon RCHI Lab, and right here at home, Arizona State University's Interactive Robotics lab. NOIRE is dropping in to see what's what.
