About

Aleksandar Krastev is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, inclusive education, and cyber-physical systems, with a focused mission to enhance digital accessibility for people with special educational needs. His most significant contribution is the development of the RELA (Robot-Enhanced Learning Architecture), a novel cognitive framework designed for pedagogical rehabilitation within inclusive education settings. Krastev’s work is distinguished by its integration of walking robots—notably the 3D-printed BigFoot—with brain-inspired control systems and EEG markers to create cyber-physical systems that adapt to cognitive deficiencies. His research has garnered over 47 citations, with his 2021 paper on e-Learning accessibility and the robotic perspective receiving 9 citations, and his 2020 work on robotic technology for inclusive education earning 7. He has also pioneered the concept of "intrinsic accessibility" as a factor in STEAM education. Through his innovative design of educational scenarios and his ecosystem for digital accessibility, Krastev is fundamentally reshaping how technology can support learners with special needs, making him a pivotal figure in assistive robotics and special education technology.
