17:40 Conclusions.
“Educational robotics” has been proved to be valuable not only for its motivational effects to excite students about science and technology, and to prepare future robotics engineers, but also as a growing commercial sector.
This workshop will address the new horizons of “learning about robotics, learning through robotics”, featuring methodology and tools from elementary school grades to PhD's.
A new class of robotic engineers could come out from well tuned application of educational robotics to the educational system, so widening the research areas and market products.
Furthermore, a new class of non-roboticists end users of robots (medical doctors, nurses, clerks, employees, ecc.) are to be considered: they will need easy-to-learn training courses where the whole methodology and tools studied and tested in the educational robotics classes will be employed.
