About

Gianluca Perosino is a researcher at the intersection of social robotics, human-robot interaction, and educational technology. His most cited work, "Design and Development of a Social, Educational and Affective Robot" (2020, 29 citations), introduces Wolly—a social robot co-designed with children to foster affective and educational engagement. This project exemplifies his commitment to user-centered design, where young learners actively shape both the robot’s form and behavior. Perosino’s contributions lie in bridging technical development with pedagogical and emotional needs, advancing how robots can serve as empathetic companions in learning environments. By involving children as co-designers, he has helped redefine the role of robots in education, moving beyond mere tools to interactive partners that support social and emotional development. His work has been recognized for its innovative approach to participatory design, and it continues to influence the growing field of child-robot interaction. With a focus on creating meaningful, human-centered technologies, Perosino is shaping the future of educational robotics.
