About

Michele Moro is a prominent researcher whose work sits at the intersection of educational robotics, special needs education, and constructivist pedagogy. With a career spanning over two decades, Moro has made substantial contributions to understanding how robotics can transform learning environments across all educational levels, from primary school through university. Among Moro's most impactful contributions is a 2020 systematic review of Educational Robotics for children with neurodevelopmental disorders, which has garnered 69 citations and stands as an essential reference for educators and clinicians exploring robot-assisted interventions. Complementing this, a companion study examining Italian teachers' attitudes toward robotics for special needs students (45 citations) highlighted the often-overlooked human dimension of technology adoption in inclusive classrooms. Moro's influence extends beyond special education. An early 2008 paper on constructivist approaches to educational robotics (41 citations) helped establish theoretical foundations still referenced today, while contributions to the TERECoP teacher-training project and work on ROS-based robotics instruction demonstrate a sustained commitment to bridging research and classroom practice. Moro has also engaged with emerging trends, exploring maker culture, Japanese robotics markets, and inquiry-based science education. Collectively, Moro's body of work — exceeding 300 cumulative citations — represents a defining voice in shaping how robotics enters and enriches educational settings worldwide.
