About
Federica Morleo is a rising researcher at the intersection of educational robotics and early childhood development, with a focus on how technology can nurture foundational language and socio-emotional skills. Her work centers on designing multisensory, play-based interventions for pre-school children, using robots like Thymio as interactive tools to foster communication, empathy, and social bonding. In her highly cited 2023 study, she demonstrated how a structured multisensory itinerary with Thymio can simultaneously enhance language abilities and socio-emotional competencies in young learners. Her 2024 exploratory investigation further broke new ground by examining how educational robotics experiences shape interpersonal dynamics among children, revealing that robot-mediated activities can positively influence peer relationships and classroom climate. Though early in her career, Morleo’s contributions are already gaining attention—her most-cited paper has accumulated 3 citations, a strong signal for a 2023 publication. Her work is notable for bridging human-robot interaction with developmental psychology, offering practical, evidence-based pathways for integrating technology into early childhood education. Morleo’s research promises to reshape how educators and technologists think about supporting the whole child in the digital age.
