Educational robotics

Robotics may also be used to motivate and facilitate the instruction other, often foundational, topics such as computer programming, artificial intelligence or engineering design.

First-year computer science courses at several universities now include programming of a robot in addition to traditional software engineering-based coursework.

[7] Since 2014, companies like Cytron Technologies have been making inroads into schools and learning centers with their rero reconfigurable robot.

Based on a 2015 web-based survey of robotics educators,[9] the degree programs and their estimates annual graduates are listed alphabetically below.

Note that only official degree programs where the word "robotics" appears on the transcript or diploma are listed here; whereas degree programs in traditional disciplines with course concentrations or thesis topics related to robotics are deliberately omitted.

Additionally, problem solving skills and creativity were utilized through the creation of artwork and scenery to house the robots.

This can lead to an increased ability in "problem solving, reasoning and planning in typically developing preschool children.

This study suggests that educational robotics in the classroom can also lead to an improvement in visuo-spatial memory and mental planning.
