About

Emiel E. J. Krahmer is a leading figure in computational linguistics and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on how social robots can transform education. His work bridges natural language generation, multimodal communication, and adaptive learning technologies. Krahmer’s landmark project, L2TOR (“Second Language Tutoring using Social Robots,” 2015, 59 citations), pioneered the use of social robots as interactive tutors for second-language acquisition, demonstrating how embodied agents can enhance engagement and learning outcomes. More recently, he has been at the forefront of integrating generative AI and large language models into educational robotics. His 2025 Delphi study on “Generative AI-powered social robots in education” (2 citations) explores both the opportunities—such as improved natural language interaction and personalised support—and the challenges of this rapidly evolving field. Krahmer’s work has shaped how researchers and educators think about the role of socially intelligent robots in classrooms, making him a key voice in the intersection of AI, language technology, and human-robot collaboration.
