About

Alma Mallo is an emerging leader at the intersection of artificial intelligence and education, with a focused research agenda on integrating intelligent robotics into classroom learning. Her most cited work, “Education in the AI era: a long-term classroom technology based on intelligent robotics” (2024, 29 citations), explores how AI-driven autonomous decision-making will reshape pedagogy and daily professional life, positioning robotics as a cornerstone of future-ready education. Mallo’s earlier contributions include developing a STEAM-based autonomous robotics curriculum for high school students using the Robobo robot (2019, 10 citations) and advancing natural human-robot interaction in educational settings (2022, 5 citations). Her work is notable for bridging theoretical AI frameworks with practical, hands-on learning tools, empowering students to engage with complex technologies from an early age. By designing curricula that emphasize autonomous robotics and intuitive interaction, Mallo is helping to prepare a generation of learners for an AI-driven world. Her research, though early in its citation trajectory, signals a growing impact on educational technology and robotics pedagogy, making her a researcher to watch in the evolving landscape of AI in education.
