About
Daniel de Cordoba is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, education, and assistive technology, with a primary focus on human-robot interaction for special needs populations. His most significant contribution lies in developing non-invasive robotic systems to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). In his highly cited 2015 work, de Cordoba proposed a cloud robotic system that uses robot companions to measure anxiety and stress levels in children with ASD during LEGO engineering workshops—without requiring wearable devices. This innovative approach allows for naturalistic behavioral logging during social skills training sessions, representing a breakthrough in unobtrusive therapeutic assessment. Additionally, de Cordoba has advanced educational robotics through his work on the LSMaker EV1 platform, which he co-developed at La Salle - Ramon Llull University. This platform balances standardization with customization, serving both as a tool for engineering curricula and as a robotic classmate. His work has garnered attention for its practical applications in inclusive education, with his most cited paper accumulating 9 citations. De Cordoba’s research exemplifies how robotics can be humanized to serve vulnerable populations, bridging technical innovation with social impact.
