“…The VQA system is also being used in the education domain to support visual learning. He et al (2017) presented an AI-based robot system of VQA for metacognition tutoring and geometrical thinking training with characteristics of contextual teaching by mining knowledge from the real world directly. For metacognition tutoring objects in the real world were detected and a set of learning materials associated with the objects was presented to learners.…”

Within the last several years, the revolution in online education has fundamentally transformed the idea of traditional education. The trend of online education is exploding in popularity in the modern educational system. However, it is challenging for primary-level students to adapt to learning in this novel environment. When enrolled in online courses, students at this level encounter a variety of difficulties. Hence, to provide better learning methods, this research study focuses on developing an education based EDUVI system for primary level students which helps the students in visual learning. The proposed system will help the students for self-learning without any assistance using a simplified and interactive platform. The developed system integrates visual question answering and image captioning system where students can import the image and extract answer based on the query asked by them or can generate the description or caption.

“…During the drawing process, all students were focused only on Cozmo, so after the robot finished the drawing, the students showed a surprised reaction and applauded it. Secondly, the work conducted in [34] indicates that an educational robot system with contextual teaching characteristics that can mine knowledge from the real world can dramatically improve the enjoyment and engagement of robotic learning. The work presented in [42] outlines the interaction between a NAO robot and children when playing games.…”

Educational robotics has gained a lot of attention in the past few years in K-12 education. Prior studies have shown enough shreds of evidence and highlight the benefits of educational robotics as being effective in providing impactful learning experiences. At the same time, today, the scientific subject of computer vision seems to dominate the field of robotics, leading to new and innovative ideas, solutions, and products. Several articles from the recent literature demonstrate how computer vision has also improved the general educational process. However, still, the number of articles that connect computer vision with educational robotics remains limited. This article aims to present a systematic mapping review, with three research questions, investigating the current status of educational robotics, focusing on the synergies and interdependencies with the field of computer vision. The systematic review outlines the research questions, presents the literature synthesis, and discusses findings across themes. More precisely, this study attempts to answer key questions related to the role, effectiveness and applicability of computer vision in educational robotics. After a detailed analysis, this paper focuses on a set of key articles. It analyzes the research methodology, the effectiveness and applicability of computer vision, the robot platform used, the related cost, the education level, and the educational area explored. Finally, the results observed are referred to as educational process benefits. The reviewed articles suggest that computer vision contributes to educational robotics learning outcomes enhancing the learning procedure. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic approach that revises the educational robotics domain by considering computer vision as a key element.

In this work, we report on our attempt to design and implement an early introduction to basic robotics principles for children at kindergarten age. One of the main challenges of this effort is to explain complex robotics contents in a way that pre-school children could follow the basic principles and ideas using examples from their world of experience. What sets apart our effort from other work is that part of the lecturing is actually done by a robot itself and that a quiz at the end of the lesson is done using robots as well. The humanoid robot Pepper from Softbank, which is a great platform for human–robot interaction experiments, was used to present a lecture on robotics by reading out the contents to the children making use of its speech synthesis capability. A quiz in a Runaround-game-show style after the lecture activated the children to recap the contents they acquired about how mobile robots work in principle. In this quiz, two LEGO Mindstorm EV3 robots were used to implement a strongly interactive scenario. Besides the thrill of being exposed to a mobile robot that would also react to the children, they were very excited and at the same time very concentrated. We got very positive feedback from the children as well as from their educators. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of only few attempts to use a robot like Pepper not as a tele-teaching tool, but as the teacher itself in order to engage pre-school children with complex robotics contents.
