About

Nikolaos Dalivigkas is a leading researcher at the intersection of social robotics and special education, with a focused expertise in developing assistive technologies for neurodiverse populations. His work centers on how human-robot interaction can be leveraged to create effective, engaging interventions for children with special needs, particularly those on the autism spectrum. Dalivigkas’s major contribution lies in advancing the field from single-robot studies to more complex, multi-robot systems, as demonstrated in his pioneering work on robot-assisted Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) interventions. His most impactful publication, a comprehensive systematic review on social robots in special education, has garnered over 100 citations, establishing a foundational framework for the field. This seminal work synthesizes years of research, highlighting both the promise and the methodological challenges of integrating robots into therapeutic and educational settings. By systematically mapping the landscape of robot-assisted learning, Dalivigkas has provided a critical roadmap for future researchers and practitioners, solidifying his reputation as a key architect in the effort to build more inclusive, technology-enhanced learning environments.
