About

Jordi Freixenet is a researcher dedicated to advancing human-robot interaction and engineering education. His work focuses on creating intuitive interfaces for robotic systems, as demonstrated in his early research on a "Friendly interface for objects selection in a robotized kitchen" (2002, 6 citations), which explored how humans can seamlessly control complex robotic environments. Beyond technical innovation, Freixenet has made a significant impact on STEM outreach through his development of team-based educational workshops. His paper "Team-based workshop to engage young students in engineering and science: Building and driving a ROV (R2B2)" (2015, 4 citations) details a six-year initiative that successfully engaged secondary school students in India, sparking interest in engineering and science through hands-on robotics projects. This work highlights his commitment to bridging the gap between advanced robotics research and accessible education, inspiring the next generation of engineers. Freixenet’s contributions underscore a dual legacy: advancing practical human-robot interaction and fostering global STEM engagement.
