EasyChair Preprint 13032

Abstract

The emergence of educational robots has revolutionized the manner in which students access education, leading to a surge in the popularity of educational robots. The process of selecting the right robot hardware for educational purposes holds great importance, as it can significantly impact the learning experience and subsequent outcomes. Due to the continuously growing market of educational robots, several critical factors must be carefully considered to effectively choose the most suitable robotic kit for a specific educational activity. Our study has two primary objectives: Firstly, it aims to identify crucial criteria for selecting an educational robot by conducting a thorough review of existing literature. Secondly, our goal is to offer a comprehensive guideline that meticulously outlines seven steps for choosing the most suitable robot. Additionally, we offer instructions on the practical application of our guideline through the use of a case study.
