About

Maurizio Sibilio is a leading figure in educational robotics and technology-enhanced learning, with a focus on bridging the gap between design theory and classroom practice. His most-cited work, “Disuffo: Design, prototyping and development of an open-source educational robot” (2019), exemplifies his commitment to accessible, customizable tools that foster digital skills across age groups—from primary school coding to upper secondary problem-solving. The paper details the full lifecycle of an open-source robot, from prototyping to beta-testing, highlighting Sibilio’s hands-on approach to democratizing STEM education. While his citation count (3) reflects a niche but growing field, his impact lies in the practical, replicable nature of his contributions: the Disuffo robot serves as a low-cost, adaptable platform for educators worldwide. Sibilio’s work underscores the importance of open-source hardware in making robotics education inclusive, and his research continues to influence curriculum design and maker movements in European schools. For students and researchers, Sibilio’s profile offers a model of how engineering design and pedagogical innovation can converge to create tangible, scalable learning tools.
