About

Olga Shandarova is a researcher focused on the intersection of robotics and early childhood education, with a particular emphasis on human-robot interaction. Her most notable contribution is the pioneering study "The Humanoid Robot Assistant for a Preschool Children" (2016), which has garnered 4 citations and laid foundational groundwork for understanding how social robots can support learning and development in young children. This work explores the practical applications of humanoid robots as educational assistants, addressing critical questions about child-robot engagement, safety, and pedagogical effectiveness. While her citation count is modest, Shandarova's research is significant for its forward-looking approach to integrating technology into early learning environments—a field that has since gained substantial momentum. Her work serves as an early reference point for researchers investigating the potential of robots to enhance preschool education, particularly in fostering social skills and cognitive development through interactive play. Shandarova's contributions highlight the importance of designing robots that are not only functional but also developmentally appropriate for young users, making her a notable voice in the emerging dialogue on robotics in education.
