About
Ilenia Amanti is a researcher at the intersection of educational technology and human-robot interaction, with a primary focus on how social robots can enhance learning environments for children. Her key research areas include child-robot interaction, educator mediation, and the pedagogical integration of autonomous systems in early education. Amanti’s most notable contribution is her study on Child-NAO Robot Interaction from the Educator Mediation Perspective, which examines how teachers can scaffold and facilitate meaningful engagement between young learners and the NAO humanoid robot. This work, published in 2025, provides critical insights into the role of adult guidance in robot-assisted education, moving beyond simplistic views of technology as a standalone tutor. While her citation count is currently emerging, her research addresses a timely and underexplored dimension of educational robotics—the human mediator’s influence on learning outcomes. Amanti’s work is particularly valuable for educators, instructional designers, and roboticists seeking to design more effective, socially aware classroom interventions. Her findings contribute to the growing body of evidence that successful child-robot interaction depends not only on the robot’s capabilities but also on the thoughtful orchestration of the learning context.
