About
Rosa Gil is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of social robotics, human-robot interaction, and inclusive digital education. Her scholarship has made significant contributions to understanding how robots can serve human needs across diverse and sensitive contexts. Most notably, her systematic reviews on social robots in hospital environments (2021, 108 citations) and their application for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (2021, 41 citations) have helped establish evidence-based frameworks for deploying assistive robotic technologies in healthcare and therapeutic settings. Gil has also demonstrated intellectual courage by rigorously examining the ethics and design of sexual robots, with her systematic literature review on human-robot interaction and sexbots (2020, 59 citations) becoming a key reference in this emerging and often controversial field. Beyond robotics, her work extends into educational technology, particularly through the COEDU-IN project, which promotes computational thinking and digital literacy among young children through inclusive co-educational approaches. Collectively, her research portfolio reflects a commitment to understanding how emerging technologies — from hospital robots to digital learning tools — can be designed responsibly and deployed equitably to improve human well-being across different populations and life stages.
