About
Iro Gkolompia is a researcher at the forefront of educational robotics, with a primary focus on integrating social humanoid robots into training, educational, and therapeutic settings. Her most-cited work, "NAO robot, an educational assistant in training, educational and therapeutic sessions" (2023, 16 citations), demonstrates how platforms like the NAO robot can advance Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) across both general and special education. Gkolompia’s key contribution lies in empirically showing that social robots enhance not only academic outcomes but also socio-emotional learning, bridging a critical gap between technical innovation and pedagogical practice. By positioning robots as interactive assistants rather than mere tools, she has helped redefine assistive technology for diverse learners, including those with special needs. Her work underscores the capacity of humanoids to foster engagement, social skills, and emotional development, making her a notable voice in the growing field of human-robot interaction in education. With her research gaining traction among educators and technologists alike, Gkolompia is shaping how next-generation classrooms can leverage robotics for holistic student development.
