About

Yerassyl Diyas is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, with a specific focus on educational robotics and child-robot collaboration. His work investigates how social humanoid robots can serve as effective learning companions, particularly in the domain of programming education. Diyas’s major contributions center on the comparative effectiveness of different robot roles—specifically, whether a robot functions better as a peer or as a teacher when instructing children. In his highly cited studies, such as “Learning with or from the Robot” (24 citations) and “Evaluating Peer versus Teacher Robot” (22 and 16 citations), he introduced an innovative edutainment framework where children learn programming basics by guiding a robot through a maze. This playful, interactive approach not only demystifies coding but also provides empirical evidence on how robot social roles influence learning outcomes. His work has been instrumental in shaping the design of autonomous tutoring systems that are both engaging and pedagogically effective. By bridging robotics, education, and child psychology, Diyas has laid a foundation for future research on adaptive, socially-aware learning technologies.
