About

Ria Rosman is a rising scholar at the intersection of human-robot interaction and inclusive education, whose work explores how emerging technologies can bridge social and physical gaps for children. Her most-cited study, "Playful Telepresence Robots with School Children" (2024, 5 citations), provides foundational insights into the safety and effectiveness of telepresence robots for remotely located students, using mixed methods to assess real-time classroom participation and social interaction. Though early in her career, Rosman’s research addresses a critical need: designing playful, child-centered robotic systems that foster belonging and engagement rather than isolation. Her contributions are particularly notable for their emphasis on empirical, in-situ evaluation within authentic educational settings, offering practical guidance for developers and educators alike. By centering the child’s experience—balancing technical functionality with social and emotional outcomes—Rosman is helping to shape a more equitable future for remote learning. As telepresence technologies become increasingly vital, her work stands out for its humanistic approach, promising to influence both the design of educational robots and the policies that govern their use in schools.
