About

Beatrice Miotti is a leading researcher at the intersection of educational robotics, innovative learning environments, and computational thinking. Her work fundamentally explores how intelligent agents—from physical robots to AI systems—can transform 21st-century education. Miotti’s most influential paper, “Robotics in Education: A Smart and Innovative Approach to the Challenges of the 21st Century” (29 citations), establishes a comprehensive framework for integrating robotics to enhance learning and overcome physical or social impairments. She further advances this field through “Makers at School, Educational Robotics and Innovative Learning Environments” (19 citations), which examines how flexible, technology-rich spaces foster active exploration and experimentation. Miotti’s research also tackles critical societal issues, notably in “Educational Robotics and the Gender Perspective,” where she investigates how stereotypes and social expectations steer girls away from STEM fields, proposing robotics as a tool to broaden participation. Her recent work on child-robot interactions and AI in education (2024) positions her at the forefront of emerging educational technology. Through large-scale studies, such as the Robot@school laboratories involving 59 classes in Florence, Miotti demonstrates how educational robotics can be practically implemented to create more inclusive, engaging, and effective learning experiences for all students.
