Robotics allows for a hands-on introduction
to technology. Children can
try out things for themselves. With the
help of educationally and technically
adapted robots, even young children
can learn the basics of robot construction
and programming in less then
two hours. By designing, constructing,
programming and testing mobile,
autonomous robots, children learn that
technology is fun and how technical
systems are developed. This helps
them gain knowledge in IT, electrical
engineering, mechanics and robotics.
Constructing and using robots is the
ideal way to communicate the types
of knowledge that are important for
understanding technical problems,
but also philosophical questions, such
as those concerning intelligence and
autonomy of artificial systems.
