About
Rikke Voldsgaard Risager is a leading practitioner in the field of educational robotics, focusing on the practical, long-term integration of social robots into daily learning environments. Her major contribution lies in bridging the gap between robotic innovation and real-world educational deployment. Drawing from extensive "Innovation Projects" in Danish municipalities, Risager developed a pioneering methodology for introducing, evaluating, and securing social robots within schools—a framework that moves beyond short-term pilots to sustainable implementation. Her most cited work, "Social Robots in Educational Institutions: They Came to Stay" (2016), with 11 citations, serves as a foundational guide for educators and technologists, detailing how to navigate the complexities of human-robot interaction in classrooms. By collaborating with Blue Ocean Robotics, a creator of emerging robotic solutions, Risager has translated technical development into actionable strategies, ensuring that social robots become trusted, long-term educational tools rather than fleeting novelties. Her work is essential for researchers and practitioners seeking to understand the operational, social, and ethical dimensions of embedding robots into daily school life.
