About

Alice Tartarini’s research lies at the intersection of educational technology, human-robot interaction, and spatial cognition, with a focus on enhancing wayfinding skills through innovative tools. Her most-cited work, “Using educational robot and tablet to improve wayfinding” (2020), explores how tangible robotic platforms and digital interfaces can scaffold spatial learning, particularly for children or individuals with navigation challenges. By integrating robots as interactive guides and tablets as visual aids, Tartarini demonstrates how multimodal feedback—combining physical movement and digital cues—can significantly improve route planning and landmark recognition. This contribution bridges developmental psychology and assistive technology, offering practical frameworks for designing inclusive navigation aids. While her citation count (3) reflects an emerging career, the interdisciplinary nature of her work positions her as a rising voice in educational robotics. Tartarini’s research not only advances theoretical understanding of spatial cognition but also provides actionable designs for classrooms and rehabilitation settings, where personalized, engaging tools can transform how learners build essential life skills. Her approach underscores the potential of low-cost, accessible technologies to democratize spatial education.
