About
Carlos Granados is a human-computer interaction researcher whose work centers on designing socially assistive robots for education and mental health. His primary research areas include educational robotics, gender equity in STEM, and human-robot interaction for well-being. Granados’s major contribution is the development of culturally sensitive robotic platforms that address underserved populations. His most cited work, “Allybot: Design Studio to Enhance Girls' Participation in Technology and Art” (2024, 3 citations), introduces AllyBot, an educational robot tailored for early adolescent girls in Peru. This platform leverages collaborative learning to empower young women in Technology and Art, directly tackling gender disparities in STEM fields. Granados’s follow-up study, “PlantiBot: Towards the Design of a Robotic Plant for Mental Health Care” (2025, 1 citation), extends his design philosophy to mental health, proposing a biomimetic robot that provides companionship and emotional support. By grounding his designs in local contexts—such as Peru’s educational landscape—Granados demonstrates how human-robot interaction can be both inclusive and therapeutic. His work is notable for its progressive approach to gender equity and its potential to reshape how technology supports vulnerable communities.
