Robots in Education is an accessible introduction to the use of robotics in formal learning, encompassing pedagogical and psychological theories as well as implementation in curricula. Today, a variety of communities across education are increasingly using robots as general classroom tutors, tools in STEM projects, and subjects of study. This volume explores how the unique physical and social-interactive capabilities of educational robots can generate bonds with students while freeing instructors to focus on their individualized approaches to teaching and learning. Authored by a uniquely interdisciplinary team of scholars, the book covers the basics of robotics and their supporting technologies; attitudes toward and ethical implications of robots in learning; research methods relevant to extending our knowledge of the field; and more.

"Authors differentiate between robots-as-tools and social robots, who are "intended to interact and communicate with humans," as opposed to human teachers, who "have skills and abilities that go well beyond those of robots." In recognition of the challenges inherent in societal attitudes toward robots and technology acceptance and ethical concerns about educational technology, the text concludes with an introduction to pertinent research methods in educational robotics."-D.
