About
Eduardo Pereira is a leading advocate for accessible, inclusive robotics education, whose work centers on lowering the barriers to technology learning for all students. His primary research areas include educational robotics, assistive technology, and social inclusion through STEM. Pereira’s major contribution is the development of **Smart Motors**, a low-cost, trainable robotic system designed for playful, hands-on learning across diverse classroom settings. This innovation directly addresses the financial and technical hurdles that often exclude under-resourced schools and students with disabilities from robotics education. His 2023 paper on this system, which has garnered 6 citations, details how Smart Motors and its accompanying online tools enable widespread integration of robotics into curricula. Earlier foundational work, such as his 2015 case study on multidisciplinary robotics for people with disabilities (4 citations), demonstrates his long-term commitment to using technology as a tool for social inclusion. By creating affordable, intuitive hardware and championing inclusive pedagogical practices, Pereira is not just teaching robotics—he is reshaping who gets to participate in the technological future.
