About

Rosa Passariello is a researcher at the intersection of educational technology and human development, with a primary focus on leveraging robotics to cultivate essential soft skills. Her most-cited work, “Robotics for soft skills training” (2017, 17 citations), establishes a foundational framework for using robotics laboratories beyond traditional STEM education. Passariello argues that these environments are uniquely effective for fostering problem-solving, collaboration, and group dynamics—competencies often neglected in conventional curricula. By positioning robots as catalysts for interpersonal growth, she has helped shift the conversation from robotics as a purely technical tool to a medium for holistic skill development. Her work is particularly influential among educators and instructional designers seeking to integrate 21st-century competencies into classroom practice. While her citation count reflects a focused, emerging impact, Passariello’s contribution is notable for its conceptual clarity and practical relevance, offering a blueprint for how hands-on robotics activities can simultaneously teach technical literacy and the soft skills vital for modern teamwork and leadership.
