About
Antea Scrocco is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, with a specific focus on how social robots can enhance learning and emotional development in children. Her work centers on the intersection of robotics, cognitive science, and education, exploring how robots like the NAO can serve as interactive tools for storytelling and engagement. In her most-cited paper, "Exploring Emotional and Cognitive Engagement in School Age Children: An In-Depth Analysis of Interaction with the NAO Social Robot During the Storytelling Activity" (2024, 4 citations), Scrocco provides a nuanced analysis of how children’s emotional and cognitive states shift during robot-led activities, offering critical insights for designing more responsive and empathetic educational technologies. Though early in her career, her contributions are already shaping the design of socially assistive robots, with potential applications in classrooms and therapeutic settings. Scrocco’s work stands out for its rigorous, child-centered methodology, bridging the gap between technical robotics and developmental psychology. As the field of social robotics grows, her research promises to inform how machines can better understand and respond to young learners’ needs.
