Present situation and problems of robot education

Robot education is to stimulate students' interest in learning and cultivate their comprehensive ability by assembling, building and running robots. Robot has become an innovative education platform with high voice and is striding forward to basic education. This paper will discuss the present situation and problems of robot education.

Lack of standardization

Educational robot products lack standardization. The brands of educational robots developed by robot manufacturers at home and abroad are very complex, self-contained, incompatible and low in openness.

There is a serious shortage of funds.

There is a serious shortage of funds, supporting components and facilities, making popularization more difficult.

Lack of scientific planning

Robot education lacks scientific planning. The quality of "teaching materials" used in robot teaching is not high, and most of them belong to "product manual" or "user guide". Without the participation and guidance of curriculum and teaching experts, it is difficult for schools to independently develop their own school-based teaching materials.

Competition activities are seriously commercialized.

The commercialization of competition activities is serious, and the direction of education development deviates. The organization forms of robot competitions are mostly organized by some robot manufacturers independently or jointly, and the supervision of education administrative departments is not enough, which leads to great differences in competition rules, referee determination and reward methods.

The administrative department of education has not paid enough attention to it.

The administrative department of education does not pay enough attention to it and lacks research from the perspective of education. At present, the development of robot education in primary and secondary schools is promoted by educational robot enterprises to some extent. Although the contribution made by enterprises in the initial stage should be affirmed, with the gradual deepening and popularization of robot education, education administrative departments and teaching and research institutions are in urgent need of full coordination and guidance.

The quality of teachers is uneven.

The quality of teachers is uneven. In the development of robot education industrialization, only by constantly cultivating a large number of outstanding talents who know multidisciplinary knowledge can we keep up with the development pace of robot era.
