About

Shuqi Yu is pioneering the intersection of child-robot interaction, STEAM education, and AI ethics. Her research centers on designing and evaluating afterschool programs where children collaborate with social robots in theatrical performances, creating immersive learning environments that foster engagement with science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Yu’s major contributions include demonstrating how robot theater can promote children’s conceptualization of social robots’ mental capacities, as shown in her 2025 study (6 citations), and introducing early education on robot and AI ethics through informal learning settings (2024, 7 citations). Her 2023 work on a child-robot musical theater program (17 citations) provides foundational guidelines for integrating robotics into K-12 education, while her 2022 study creatively uses robot musical theater to address climate change awareness (4 citations). Yu’s innovative approach not only advances pedagogical methods but also prepares young learners for ethical human-robot coexistence. Her cumulative work, with over 37 citations, establishes her as a leading voice in developing engaging, technology-rich curricula that bridge the gap between emerging AI technologies and meaningful childhood education.
