About

Tracey Mehigan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of educational technology, accessibility, and robotics. Her work focuses on leveraging robotics and artificial intelligence to transform mathematics education, particularly for students with visual impairments and dyslexia. Mehigan’s most-cited paper (14 citations) demonstrates how educational robotics can enhance accessibility, motivation, and engagement for vision-impaired learners, addressing critical barriers in mathematical content delivery. Her research on personalised presentation of mathematics (4 citations) explores how AI in Education (AIEd) can create adaptive environments that accommodate diverse learning styles, though she also highlights the challenges of implementation. Most recently, Mehigan has ventured into low-cost humanoid robotics (2 citations), designing a flex sensor-based movement system compatible with Raspberry Pi, with applications in education, healthcare, and customer service. Her work is notable for its practical, inclusive approach—combining cutting-edge technology with a deep commitment to equity in learning. By bridging robotics, AI, and special education, Mehigan is shaping a future where all students, regardless of ability, can access and excel in mathematics.
