Humanoid robots are spreading into more and more areas of daily life. But what tasks do they perform and how can they provide us with useful support, especially in educational contexts?
In his introductory book, the German digital pioneer, Prof. Dr. Jürgen Handke, manager of the two well-known robot projects H.E.A.R.T. and RoboPraX, shows how humanoid robots can be used in an increasingly digital world: as simple showcases, as partners in various areas of life, especially in education, or as tools for acquiring and consolidating digital skills. Beyond these applications, the book provides an overview of humanoid robots and a discussion of the challenges of using them in the context of everyday life.
