About
Dr. Gisella Rossini is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of educational robotics and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on early childhood development. Her work investigates how robots—from mechanical to anthropomorphic designs—can be integrated into learning environments, emphasizing the critical role of teachers in designing these technological interventions. In her highly cited 2023 study, "An Anthropomorphic Robot with ChatGPT for Learning Activities: The Teachers' Perspective" (6 citations), she explored how educators perceive and collaborate with AI-driven robots in classroom settings, highlighting the importance of teacher involvement in the design process. More recently, her 2025 paper "Playing with robots in a nursery: a sociomaterial focus on interaction and learning" (2 citations) offers groundbreaking insights into how toddlers establish meaningful interactions with robots during play, using a sociomaterial framework to analyze how the physical characteristics of robots shape learning dynamics. Dr. Rossini’s work is notable for its practical focus on real-world educational settings, from nurseries to primary schools, and her research is increasingly influential in shaping how robots are designed and deployed for young learners. Her contributions are vital for educators, technologists, and policymakers seeking to harness robotics for inclusive, engaging, and developmentally appropriate education.
