About

Ricardo Mallol Poyato’s research focuses on the intersection of engineering education and robotics, with a particular emphasis on how hands-on, competition-driven projects can foster essential transversal skills in university students. His most-cited work, “Acquisition of transversal skills in university studies through participation in robotics competitions” (2020), demonstrates how collaborative robotics projects—especially those tied to international contests like EUROBOT—serve as powerful platforms for developing teamwork, problem-solving, and communication abilities alongside technical expertise. By integrating students and faculty from diverse disciplines, Mallol Poyato’s approach bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application, offering a replicable model for active learning in STEM. Though his citation count is still growing, his work has already influenced pedagogical strategies in engineering programs, highlighting the value of competition-based learning. His contributions underscore a commitment to preparing students not just as technicians, but as adaptable, collaborative innovators ready to tackle complex challenges in robotics and beyond.
