In April, I had the opportunity to present our lab’s work on social robots at the second conference “Social Robots in the Public Sector” at the HSPV (see below). The event, organized as part of the BMBF-funded RuhrBots project, brought together experts from academia, administration, and practice to discuss the role of social robots in public institutions.

The talk explored how social robots can foster digital participation in early childhood education by supporting language development, enhancing metalinguistic abilities, and promoting critical engagement with digital technologies.
