Robots in Education

Abstract

Over the years, information and communication technology has attained attention in the education sector. Educational robotics as a subfield of ICT has sped up the educational learning in students. Involvement of robots in education has made it more interesting for students. Robotics can be used as motivators for students who don't find traditional learning interesting. For better understanding of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) projects, it is recommended that robots must be integrated into school and college education. Students become active as robots enable them to gain knowledge by manipulating technology. Robotics in education is also a boon for teachers as they are not overburden of involving their students in STEM projects. This chapter aims to investigate whether students are feeling the same level of emotional attachment with robots as with humans. By using robots for their social, personal, and education for a long time, they are affecting the emotional wellbeing of the students.
