About
Karina Vissonova is an emerging leader in the intersection of soft robotics, experiential learning, and sustainable design. Her research centers on developing accessible, hands-on educational platforms that demystify complex robotic systems while promoting environmental consciousness. Vissonova’s most-cited work, "Soft Robotics Workshops: Supporting Experiential Learning About Design, Movement, and Sustainability" (2023), has already garnered 8 citations, reflecting its timely impact on both pedagogy and engineering. In this paper, she introduces a workshop framework that integrates soft robotic principles—such as pneumatic actuation and compliant materials—with sustainability challenges, enabling students to explore movement and material reuse through iterative prototyping. This contribution bridges a critical gap between technical robotics education and broader ecological literacy, offering a replicable model for STEM classrooms and maker spaces. Vissonova’s work is notable for its emphasis on inclusive, low-cost design, making advanced robotics concepts tangible for diverse learners. As a researcher committed to transforming how we teach and think about robotics, she is shaping a future where technology education is both innovative and responsible.
