About
Erin Hagarty’s research lies at the dynamic intersection of biologically inspired robotics, STEM education, and community engagement. Her most notable contribution is the development and analysis of outreach programs that bring hands-on, biologically inspired underwater robotics to students, bridging the gap between complex engineering concepts and accessible learning. Her work, particularly the highly cited “Lessons Learned in the Development of a STEM Outreach Program for Biologically Inspired Underwater Robotics” (2024), provides a critical framework for educators and researchers seeking to design effective, scalable robotics curricula. This paper has quickly become a foundational reference for those working to inspire the next generation of engineers through real-world, interdisciplinary challenges. Hagarty’s impact extends beyond citation counts; her efforts have directly shaped how universities and schools implement low-cost, engaging robotics platforms, making her a key figure in the push for inclusive, hands-on STEM learning. Her research not only advances the field of educational robotics but also demonstrates how complex systems thinking can be made tangible for diverse audiences.
