About
Grigorios Nikolaou is a pioneering researcher in educational technology and human-robot interaction, with a focus on how social robots can enhance early childhood development. His work centers on the intersection of robotics, cognitive psychology, and socio-emotional learning, particularly through the use of the NAO robot as an interactive tool for preschoolers. His most-cited paper, "Evaluating the Correlation Between Social Robot NAO and Preschoolers' Socio-Emotional and Cognitive Skills" (2025), investigates how robot-mediated activities can improve children's emotion recognition, self-regulation, working memory, and phonological awareness—key competencies for school readiness. Although early in its citation impact, this study represents a significant contribution to the growing field of child-robot interaction, offering empirical evidence for integrating social robots into early education curricula. Nikolaou’s work is notable for bridging developmental psychology with artificial intelligence, providing educators and technologists with actionable insights. His research holds promise for designing inclusive, adaptive learning environments that support both cognitive and emotional growth in young learners.
