About
Tiago Guerreiro is a leading researcher in accessible computing and human-robot interaction, with a focus on designing inclusive technologies for visually impaired children and older adults. His major contributions include pioneering accessible programming environments, such as ACCembly and TACTOPI, which enable children with visual impairments to engage in spatial programming and computational thinking through multisensory, playful robotics. His work on assistive robots, like the Carrier-pigeon Robot and studies on robots aligned with older adults' values, shifts the paradigm from mere assistance to fostering agency, communication, and social inclusion. With over 176 citations across his most-cited papers, Guerreiro’s research has significant impact, particularly in human-robot interaction (HRI) and accessible education. Notable achievements include his exploration of asymmetric roles in collaborative programming for mixed-visual-ability children and his emphasis on ecological settings, such as home-based learning. His work not only advances technical solutions but also prioritizes user-centered values, making technology truly inclusive and empowering for marginalized communities.
