About
Bosede Iyiade Edwards is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, educational technology, and human-robot interaction. Her work addresses some of the most pressing challenges in global education, most notably the worldwide teacher shortage, through innovative applications of AI and robotics. Edwards' most influential contribution, "Why Not Robot Teachers: Artificial Intelligence for Addressing Teacher Shortage" (2018), has garnered 173 citations and sparked international conversation about the potential of AI-driven educators to supplement human teachers, particularly in under-resourced contexts. Building on this foundation, she developed the Physically Embodied Robot Teacher (PERT), exploring how robotic agents can facilitate peer learning in real classroom environments. Her research extends beyond education into healthcare technology, examining ontology-based chatbot systems for automated medical diagnosis, reflecting a broader commitment to leveraging AI for social good. More recently, Edwards has turned her attention to emerging learning environments and future classroom design. Across her body of work, she consistently challenges conventional boundaries, asking bold questions about how intelligent systems can democratize access to education and healthcare. Her scholarship offers both theoretical insight and practical vision for a technologically transformed future.
