About

Divyanshu Singh is a pioneering researcher in child-robot interaction (CRI), with a specific focus on under-resourced communities in the Global South. His work critically examines how robots can serve as toys, tutors, peers, or pets in educational settings, demonstrating that they can support diverse learning goals among preschool children aged 4-8 years. Singh’s key contribution lies in addressing a significant gap in CRI research, which has predominantly been conducted in high-resource Western contexts. By conducting studies in under-resourced communities, he highlights the unique ethical considerations and practical challenges of deploying robots in these environments. His most-cited paper, “Ethical Considerations from Child-Robot Interactions in Under-Resourced Communities” (2022, 26 citations), is a foundational work that raises critical questions about equity, cultural sensitivity, and the responsible design of educational technology. Another notable publication, “Toy, Tutor, Peer, or Pet?” (2020, 14 citations), explores the multifaceted roles robots can play in classrooms. Singh’s research is not only academically impactful but also socially relevant, offering actionable insights for educators, technologists, and policymakers aiming to bridge the digital divide in early childhood education.
