About
Janusz Zalewski is a software engineering educator and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, embedded systems, cyberphysical systems, and STEM education. Over the course of his career, Zalewski has made meaningful contributions to how engineering concepts are taught at both the undergraduate and K-12 levels, pioneering accessible, hands-on approaches to robotics instruction at institutions where resources are often limited. His most cited work examines the integration of remotely accessible robotic devices into online software engineering curricula, reflecting a forward-thinking response to the growing prevalence of connected embedded systems. Zalewski also developed simulation-based robotics tools that allow students to explore joint-level programming and kinematics without the prohibitive cost of dedicated hardware, democratizing robotics education in meaningful ways. His exploration of intelligent conversational robots, such as the CleverNAO system pairing natural language processing with physical humanoid robots, demonstrates a broader curiosity about human-machine interaction. With work spanning unmanned aerial vehicles, electronic collaboration frameworks, and undergraduate STEM laboratory development, Zalewski's cumulative citation record reflects a career dedicated to bridging theoretical engineering principles with practical, student-centered learning environments.
