About

Vaios Papaspyros is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of educational robotics, biohybrid systems, and computational thinking. His work spans two distinct yet innovative domains: developing intervention methods to foster computational thinking in primary education and creating biohybrid systems that integrate robots into animal societies. Papaspyros’s most impactful contribution is his 2022 study on feedback and guidance strategies for educational robotics, which has garnered 86 citations and provides a practical framework for teaching 21st-century skills through hands-on learning. In the realm of biohybrid systems, his 2019 paper on bidirectional interactions with zebrafish shoals (16 citations) and his 2023 biohybrid interaction framework (11 citations) have advanced our understanding of collective animal behavior by enabling real-time, closed-loop experiments with robotic agents. His 2024 work quantifying the biomimicry gap in robot-fish pairs (9 citations) further refines these systems. Additionally, Papaspyros contributed to robot damage recovery through constrained Bayesian optimization (2016, 6 citations) and explored handwriting programming languages for educational robots (2021). His research uniquely bridges education and ethology, demonstrating how robotics can both teach young learners and decode the social dynamics of living systems.
