About

Kristin Skeide Fuglerud is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, universal design, and assistive technology. Her work focuses on making technology accessible and beneficial for diverse populations, particularly children with special needs. A major contribution is her exploration of social robots as educational tools. Her highly cited 2018 study, "The Use of Social Robots for Supporting Language Training of Children," demonstrated how robots can boost engagement and motivation in learning, laying critical groundwork for this emerging field. Building on this, she leads the ROSA project, which develops robot-supported education for children with autism spectrum disorder, targeting communication, language, and emotional skills. With over 15 citations on her foundational robot study alone, Fuglerud’s research is shaping how we design inclusive, interactive learning environments. Her work bridges cutting-edge robotics with real-world educational challenges, making her a key voice in the drive toward universally designed technology that empowers every learner.
