Meet Our 2025 Advocacy in Action Winner: Chloe Haidenhofer

Chloe Haidenhofer made history as one of the first individuals with intellectual disabilities to lead a published university research paper on social robotics, partnering with QUT and Endeavour Foundation. Her study explored how humanoid robot Pepper can enhance confidence, communication, and independence, using first-person experiences and interviews to record findings.

“I never thought I would be a finalist, let alone a winner. I feel like I can achieve nearly anything now, especially since I’ve been acknowledged with this award. Hopefully I get to do more with Pepper and QUT, in another project, helping Pepper to go out to different places like hospitals and to homes and learning and lifestyle centres to help people no matter how they’re feeling,” Chloe Haidenhofer. Advocate and Endeavour Foundation Employee.
