About

Anushka Subedi is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction in education, specializing in the use of social robots to enhance learning outcomes. Her work focuses on leveraging the NAO robot as an educational agent, particularly for improving language skills and fostering reading habits in primary education. In her highly cited pilot study (14 citations), Subedi demonstrated how NAO’s speech recognition and sensor capabilities can boost student engagement and motivation, though she acknowledges the gap between current robotics and truly human-like interaction. She has also contributed a comparative analysis of programming NAO using Choregraphe versus Python SDK (4 citations), offering practical insights for educators and developers. Subedi’s research bridges technical robotics and pedagogical practice, providing a roadmap for integrating social robots into classrooms. Her work is notable for its hands-on, empirical approach, addressing both the promise and limitations of educational robotics. As a rising voice in the field, Subedi’s findings are shaping how we design interactive learning tools for young students.
