“教学机器人”也称教育机器人,现在还没有明确和严格的定义。从广义上说,只要具有教育教学功能的机器人都可称为“教学机器人”。狭义的“教学机器人”是指那些专门运用于教育教学领域、可以进行辅助教学的简易机器人系统。随着许多青少年机器人竞赛逐渐在中国开展并普及,以机器人为内容的机器人教育也以第二课堂、竞赛辅导等多种形式迅速发展。但是,在中国起步阶段的机器人教育领域,教学机器人还只是定位于各种能给学校和学生带来荣誉和现实利益的机器人竞赛,对于教学机器人的利用还远未发挥其应有的作用。 “Teaching robot ” also known as educational robot, there is no clear and strict definition. Broadly speaking, as long as the education and teaching functions of the robot can be called “teaching robot ”. Narrow “teaching robot ” refers to those who are devoted to education and teaching, can be assisted teaching simple robotic system. As many adolescent robotics competitions are gradually launched and popularized in China, robot-based robotics education also develops rapidly in various forms such as the second class, competition counseling and so on. However, in the initial stage of robot education in China, teaching robots are still located only in a variety of competitions that bring honors and real benefits to schools and students. They are far from being able to play their due role in the use of teaching robots.
