About

Stephanie Holmquist is a pioneering researcher in educational robotics and human-robot interaction, with a focus on the design and classification of learning technologies. Her most influential work, the "EduRobot Taxonomy" (2019), which has garnered 19 citations, provides a foundational framework for categorizing robots used in educational settings. This taxonomy systematically defines robot types, capabilities, and pedagogical roles, offering educators and developers a common language to evaluate and implement robotic tools in classrooms. Holmquist’s contributions bridge the gap between technical robotics and educational theory, emphasizing how robots can support personalized learning, engagement, and skill development. Her research has been instrumental in shaping curriculum design for STEM education, particularly in early childhood and special needs contexts. By establishing clear criteria for robot functionality and interaction, Holmquist has enabled more effective integration of robotics into diverse learning environments. Her work continues to influence both academic research and practical applications, making her a key figure in the growing field of educational technology.
