About

Luis A. Guerrero is a researcher specializing in human-robot interaction, educational technology, and child-centered computing, with a particular focus on making programming and robotics accessible to young learners. His work sits at the intersection of early childhood education and emerging technologies, exploring how children as young as four can engage meaningfully with computational thinking through carefully designed tools and interfaces. Guerrero's most notable contributions include the development of MODEBOTS and TITIBOTS — innovative environments and mobile applications that enable children between the ages of four and six to program robots in intuitive, engaging ways. These tools are grounded in the recognition that today's digital natives possess an innate affinity for technology that, when properly harnessed, can cultivate logical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity from an early age. His 2016 paper on TITIBOTS has garnered 15 citations, reflecting strong interest from the educational technology community. Beyond early childhood programming, Guerrero has investigated the role of social robots like NAO in classroom settings, examining user experience through frameworks such as UTAUT and studying student engagement levels. His 2019 UTAUT study has accumulated 17 citations, underscoring his growing influence in human-robot interaction research and his commitment to evidence-based approaches in educational robotics.
