About

Carolina Bobadilla is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, STEM education, and assistive technology. Her primary research areas include collaborative robotics, human-robot interaction, and inclusive design-based learning for K-12 education. Bobadilla’s most significant contribution is the development and evaluation of a co-robotics curriculum that seamlessly integrates robotics, computer science, and assistive technology to engage underrepresented students in STEM. Her landmark 2025 paper, "Teaching Collaborative Robotics," has already garnered 6 citations, reflecting its growing influence in educational robotics. Notably, Bobadilla’s work addresses the critical need for diverse talent in assistive technologies for healthcare, designing hands-on learning experiences that empower high school students to build robots capable of helping people with disabilities. Her curriculum not only teaches technical skills but also fosters empathy and social awareness, making her a leader in socially responsible robotics education. Bobadilla’s research is shaping how we prepare the next generation of engineers to create inclusive, human-centered technologies.
