About

Mirella M. de O. Carneiro is a dedicated researcher in engineering education and robotics, with a focus on developing accessible, hands-on learning tools for undergraduate students. Her work centers on integrating assistive robotics, mobile robots, and robotic operating systems into technical curricula, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. She has pioneered the use of low-complexity prototypes—such as a 5-DoF assistive robotic system and mobile robots—to enhance student engagement and comprehension in control and servomechanisms courses. Carneiro’s research also extends to soft robotics, where she has contributed to the development of a low-cost, fish-based soft robot for underwater environments, addressing the need for flexible and safer remotely operated vehicles. Her most-cited papers, including studies on educational robots and project-based learning with SLAM algorithms, have garnered over 17 citations collectively, reflecting growing interest in her innovative pedagogical approaches. Notably, her work emphasizes cost-effective solutions that make advanced robotics education more inclusive and practical, preparing students for real-world challenges in autonomous systems and underwater exploration.
