About

Robert Kenny is an educator and researcher dedicated to transforming STEM education through hands-on, technology-driven learning. His primary research areas include robotics education, cyber-physical systems, and virtual laboratory environments. Kenny’s major contribution lies in designing accessible, web-based teaching modules that integrate robotics across undergraduate STEM curricula, enabling students to develop practical applications in engineering and computer science. His work on virtual and cyber-physical STEM labs further extends these opportunities, bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world experimentation. Though his most-cited papers—"Creating Research Opportunities with Robotics across the Undergraduate STEM Curriculum" (2013) and "Virtual and Cyber-Physical STEM Labs" (2019)—each hold 3 citations, their impact is evident in their role as foundational resources for educators seeking to modernize STEM pedagogy. Kenny’s approach emphasizes systems thinking and web accessibility, making complex robotics concepts approachable for diverse learners. His achievements include pioneering low-barrier entry points for undergraduates to engage in research-oriented robotics projects, fostering the next generation of innovators in science and technology.
