About
Dr. Mofei Cheng is a pioneer at the intersection of robotics and early childhood education, whose work reimagines how young learners interact with technology. His primary research focuses on developing intuitive, ROS-based robotic platforms to enhance STEM learning, with a particular emphasis on making mathematics accessible and engaging for children. In his landmark 2019 paper, "A New Type of ROS-Based Pedagogical Robot for Kids’ Mathematics Education," Dr. Cheng introduced an innovative educational robot that reads printed arithmetic equations and displays results using a 7-segment display, leveraging the open-source Robotic Operating System (ROS) on a Pioneer 3 differential drive platform. This work, which has garnered 2 citations, represents a foundational step in creating affordable, interactive tools that bridge physical play and computational thinking. By integrating ROS into pedagogical robotics, Dr. Cheng has opened new pathways for hands-on learning, demonstrating how even simple robotic systems can transform abstract mathematical concepts into tangible, playful experiences. His contributions continue to inspire researchers and educators seeking to democratize robotics education for the next generation.
