About

Laura Sara Agrati is a leading researcher in educational technology and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on the role of educators in mediating child-robot relationships. Her most-cited work, "Child-NAO Robot Interaction: A Study from the Educator Mediation Perspective" (2025), explores how teachers and caregivers can facilitate meaningful, pedagogically sound interactions between young learners and social robots like the NAO. This study has already garnered attention, earning 1 citation in its early publication, and underscores her commitment to bridging robotics and classroom practice. Agrati’s broader contributions lie in designing frameworks that integrate emerging technologies into educational settings, emphasizing the human element—especially the educator’s guidance—as critical to successful adoption. Her research has significant implications for inclusive, technology-enhanced learning environments, and she is recognized for advancing theoretical and practical understanding of how robots can support cognitive and social development in children. Through her work, Agrati continues to shape the future of educational robotics, making her a key voice for researchers and practitioners interested in the intersection of pedagogy, technology, and child development.
