About
Thiago do Nascimento is a leading figure in educational robotics, best known for his transformative work on the Brazilian Robotics Olympiad (OBR). His key research areas center on the development and application of simulation platforms to democratize access to competitive robotics, particularly through his flagship project, sBotics. His major contribution, detailed in his most-cited paper "sBotics: Simulation Applied for the Practical Component of the Brazilian Robotics Olympiad" (2019, 8 citations), introduced a web-based simulation environment that allows students across Brazil to participate in the OBR’s practical categories without requiring physical hardware. This innovation has been instrumental in breaking down economic and geographic barriers, enabling thousands of young learners to engage in authentic robotics challenges. By providing a scalable, accessible platform, Nascimento’s work has directly expanded the reach of one of the world’s largest robotics competitions, fostering STEM education in underserved communities. His achievements underscore a commitment to inclusive, technology-driven pedagogy, making him a pivotal contributor to the global movement for equitable science education.
