About

Margit Ehardt-Schmiederer is a leading figure in AI and robotics education, best known for her pioneering work in developing standardized training and certification frameworks for these emerging technologies. Her most influential contribution is the EDLRIS project (European Driving License for Robots and Intelligent Systems), which she introduced in her highly cited 2021 paper (24 citations). This groundbreaking initiative establishes a professional, internationally accepted system for certifying teachers, students, and young people in AI and robotics—effectively creating a "driving license" for intelligent systems. By bridging the gap between cutting-edge technical fields and formal education, Ehardt-Schmiederer has addressed a critical need for structured, quality-assured learning pathways in AI. Her work has significant implications for workforce development, helping to democratize access to AI skills and ensuring that educators are properly equipped to teach these complex subjects. Through EDLRIS, she has laid the foundation for a globally recognized standard in AI literacy, making her a transformative figure in educational technology and human-robot interaction training.
