About

Caroline Bond’s research sits at the intersection of educational psychology and assistive technology, focusing on how robotic telepresence can support school inclusion for pupils with physical and emotional health needs. Her systematic literature review (2023, 15 citations) established a foundational framework for understanding user perspectives on these technologies in UK schools, highlighting their potential to bridge attendance gaps for vulnerable students. Bond’s work specifically examines the AV1 robot avatar, a telepresence device enabling remote classroom access. Through her 2022 and 2023 studies, she has demonstrated AV1’s growing evidence base for supporting children with long-term illnesses, while critically identifying gaps in research on its broader application. Her contributions are particularly timely, as schools increasingly seek inclusive solutions for pupils facing physical or emotional barriers to attendance. By centering the voices of users—students, teachers, and educational psychologists—Bond’s research offers practical insights for implementing telepresence technology in educational settings. Her work not only advances academic understanding but also provides actionable guidance for practitioners, making her a key voice in the evolving dialogue on technology-enabled inclusion in education.
