Abstract

The field of robotics is developing rapidly. It is transitioning from industrial applications to personal and educational domains. In this paper, we will explore the transformative potential of personal robots in enhancing children's education through interactive, emotionally intelligent, and adaptive learning experiences. It is clear that incorporating artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced sensory systems, modern educational robots like Moxie, ROYBI, ClicBot, and Miko provide personalized support for cognitive, social, and emotional development. In this study, we will review recent innovations in personal robotics. We also highlight their ability to foster curiosity, improve problem-solving skills, and introduce children to STEM concepts in engaging and personalized ways. In addition, the research discusses the opportunities and challenges associated with implementing personal robots in educational settings. This aims to provide insights into their future role in reshaping learning models for the next generation.
