About
Carlos Eduardo Sousa is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of educational robotics and affective computing, with a focus on designing socially intelligent agents that foster empathetic human-robot interactions. His most notable contribution is the development of Roboldo, an affective robot introduced in his 2024 paper "Roboldo: An Affective Robot for Empathetic Social Interactions in Education." This work addresses a critical gap in educational technology: while robotic agents are increasingly used to teach subjects like mathematics and logic, most lack the social and emotional capabilities needed to engage students on a deeper, more human level. Sousa’s research demonstrates how embedding affective behaviors into robots can transform them from mere instructional tools into empathetic companions, enhancing student motivation and learning outcomes. Though his work is still emerging, with Roboldo already garnering 2 citations, Sousa’s vision positions him as a rising voice in human-robot interaction and socially assistive robotics. His efforts promise to reshape how technology supports education, making learning not only more effective but also more emotionally resonant for future generations of students.
