Marcelo R. Rosales

Marcelo R. Rosales studies infant motor development and learning, with a focus on how infants (including those at elevated risk for autism or developmental disabilities) move their legs and use vision during learning tasks. A distinctive part of this work involves socially assistive robots that interact with infants to encourage leg movement and study contingency learning (where infants learn that their actions cause an effect, like a robot response). The research combines developmental psychology, physical/occupational therapy, and robotics/sensor-based measurement.

Publication output has been modest and somewhat variable over the past decade, rising to a peak of about four papers in 2019, dropping to zero in 2023, and recently showing a slight uptick in 2025-2026.
