About
Getter Eskla is a researcher at the intersection of educational technology and special needs pedagogy, with a primary focus on using robotics to foster social development in children with autism-spectrum disorders (ASD). Her most-cited work, a 2021 study on the Bee-Bot educational robot, demonstrates how programmable floor robots can serve as structured, predictable tools to improve joint attention, turn-taking, and peer interaction among young learners with ASD. This research, cited eight times, has helped bridge the gap between human-robot interaction and inclusive education, offering educators a low-cost, evidence-based intervention. Eskla’s contributions are particularly notable for their practical classroom applications, emphasizing that even simple robotic tools can create safe, repeatable social scenarios that reduce anxiety and encourage communication. Her work aligns with broader trends in assistive technology and early childhood special education, positioning her as a key voice in the growing field of robot-mediated social skills training. For students and researchers exploring how technology can support neurodiverse learners, Eskla’s research provides a clear, actionable framework for integrating educational robots into therapeutic and classroom settings.
