Robotics in Education, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book delivers immediate, actionable strategies and peer-reviewed research to build universal "robotics literacy" across all educational levels. By bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and classroom reality, it provides educators, engineers, and researchers with tested pedagogical frameworks, open-source hardware designs, and modern AI integration strategies.

Rather than viewing technology in isolation, this work uniquely addresses how digital media, embodied AI, and intelligent robotics are reshaping human learning. It features new studies on implementing lightweight machine learning directly on educational robots, exploring soft robotics and continuum platforms, and optimizing real-time operating systems on microcontrollers within university courses. Readers discover how to deploy innovative tools like smart cameras and intelligent tutoring frameworks, while also analyzing the transition of high-stakes robotics competitions directly into scalable university curricula.

This book's general scope spans three interconnected pillars crucial to modern STEM and robotics education:

• Methodology and Pedagogical Aspects: Research targeting how digital media impacts the brain, early alert systems for learning difficulties in primary schools, and progressive AI-robotics curricula for vocational education.
• Tools and Methods for Teaching: Practical developments in humanoid simulation frameworks, insect-inspired robot competitions for rural schools, visual programming for neurodiverse learners, and AI-vision challenges using coordinated drone swarms.
• Skills and Strategies: Curricular approaches designed to cultivate T-shaped competencies i. e. balancing broad interdisciplinary overviews with distinct in-depth specializations and covering topics like Edge-AI, ROS 2 remote environments, telepresence-mediated classrooms and humanoid interaction in creative performances.

This book is an essential resource for an international audience of primary, secondary, and higher education teachers, computer science and engineering university professors and educational technology developers. It is equally valuable for school administrators, academic policymakers and industry partners seeking evidence-based practices to support modern technical standards.
