20. Why humanoid robots in education?
https://robotical.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Robotical_Benefits-of-Using-Humanoid-Robots.pdf
•Humanoid robots are characterized by
their human form and behavior
•In education, they have been shown to help
develop computational thinking in young
learners
•Foster greater engagement from pupils
across a wide array of subjects in the
curriculum
•They are a wonderful education aid in teaching children on the
autistic spectrum
•Having a human form has been proven to invoke a stronger
connection and sense of ownership
