About

Francesco Agrusti is a researcher whose work sits at the vital intersection of educational technology, social inclusion, and human-computer interaction. His primary research areas focus on leveraging personalized interfaces and educational robotics to foster social and cultural integration, particularly for vulnerable populations. Agrusti’s major contributions include pioneering the SOCIALIZE workshop series, which unites scholars developing interactive techniques to enhance inclusion for a broad range of users. He has also made significant strides in special needs education, investigating how robotics can serve as an effective pedagogical tool. His work on pre-service teacher training, as detailed in his 2022 study on educational robotics for special needs students, provides critical insights into preparing educators to implement these technologies. With his most-cited paper, "SOcial and Cultural IntegrAtion with PersonaLIZEd Interfaces," garnering 5 citations, and his robotics research accumulating 3 citations, Agrusti is establishing a focused impact in a niche but growing field. His efforts are notable for bridging the gap between advanced interactive systems and practical, inclusive classroom applications, making him a key voice in the movement toward more equitable and technologically-enhanced learning environments.
