About

Susumu Kanemune is a pioneering researcher in computer science education, with a focus on integrating robotics into programming curricula. His work centers on developing innovative, hands-on methods for teaching computational thinking and control programming, particularly through the use of autonomous mobile robots. Kanemune’s most influential contribution, "Learning Computer Programming with Autonomous Robots" (2006), has garnered 14 citations and demonstrates how tangible, interactive platforms can make abstract programming concepts accessible to beginners. He further advanced this approach in "Proposal for Teaching Manufacturing and Control Programming Using Autonomous Mobile Robots with an Arm" (2008), which expanded the pedagogical framework to include manufacturing and robotic arm control. By bridging the gap between theoretical programming and real-world robotics, Kanemune has provided educators with practical tools to engage students in STEM fields. His work is notable for its emphasis on experiential learning, inspiring a generation of researchers and teachers to adopt robotics as a vehicle for teaching core computer science principles.
