Social robots in education and care

From an educational perspective, building and using robots offers students a powerful hands-on approach to learning complex concepts in computer science, engineering, and artificial intelligence. Rather than merely studying algorithms and control systems in theory, students engage directly with real-world challenges such as sensor integration, mechanical design, and autonomous navigation. This process promotes problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork, while also fostering a deeper understanding of how software and hardware interact. Moreover, robotics projects cultivate resilience and iterative thinking, as failure becomes a natural and constructive part of the learning cycle. One of the goals of the RoVIT Research Group is to empower students to transform abstract knowledge into tangible innovation.
