About
Marie-Monique Schaper is a researcher working at the intersection of educational robotics, human-robot interaction, and AI ethics, with a particular focus on how children engage with intelligent technologies in meaningful and critically informed ways. Her most influential work frames educational robotics as a "boundary object" — a concept that has garnered 39 citations — arguing for a broader, more inclusive approach to how robotics is introduced in learning environments. Schaper is especially recognized for her innovative methodologies that encourage children to reflect critically on the social and ethical dimensions of AI and robotics; her studies using conversational props such as food practices to prompt philosophical discussions about human-robot interaction demonstrate both creativity and rigor. With papers accumulating over 120 citations across her most prominent works, her research has made a tangible impact on the fields of child-computer interaction and technology education. Her more recent investigations into robot errors and unexpected behaviors in real-world settings further demonstrate her commitment to age-appropriate, context-sensitive design. Schaper's scholarship is essential reading for anyone interested in how the next generation can become thoughtful, empowered participants in an increasingly automated world.
