We have lost the ability to have a casual conversation with the youth today. The problem is that so many are focused on electronic devices, where the language that is used is not a proper language. They speak in abbreviations, emojis or partial words and incomplete sentences. Roybi Robot the AI robot helps teach the fundamentals of language, using manners, as well as being an active “friend” for the child during learning activities such as math, reading and learning about their culture and other cultures. Roybi Robot is an electronic device, however, this device is beneficial to the child, and to the family as a whole unit. What have we done to create this language barrier in conversations with our...
Recently, Finland was faced with a problem that plagues small countries. The future is fast approaching and while they will never have the manpower or resources to dominate the Artificial Intelligence market, they still need to stay ahead of the wave. But how? A survey completed by a tech company called Sage earlier this month declared that the vast majority of the population feels that learning about artificial intelligence is “elitist” and basically inaccessible to the common, ordinary person. Finland’s own surveys came back with similar results, so they needed a plan and what they have come up with is nothing short of genius. It started as a basic initiative to educate regular people about the basic risks and benefits of welcoming...
Technology is a big driver for motivation, especially among students to learn. On a basic level, robots make learning more fun for students. Who wouldn’t want a talking machine helping them with their classwork? This idea in itself captures the attention of children of all ages. If a student is enjoying themselves, then they are more likely to pick up knowledge along the way. As students go from elementary school to high school and beyond, this idea remains the same but poses unique benefits at each point of development. Here’s a quick look at how educational robots can be used in different learning stages. Early Childhood Every parent has heard the familiar request “Read it again!” and “Can we read it...
It’s no secret that robots are becoming a more regular part of our world. We use them in public, at work, and even at home. Although using robots in education is still fairly new, they will likely become a bigger part of the classroom in the near future. The artificial intelligence used in robots is extremely beneficial in the educational sphere, especially for students. Teachers can take advantage of a robot’s value by integrating them into the classroom. ROYBI is the perfect example of an educational robot that teachers can use to engage kids in learning and reinforce their lessons. Let’s take a look at some of the ways robots can become a part of a student’s everyday learning experience....
Arguably the biggest challenge in education is how to determine the best way to teach someone so that they will not only learn the thing you are trying to teach, but they will retain it and use it. That seems like it should be the first lesson on the first day of Education School, but it isn’t. And there is a very good reason why not: no one knows exactly how to do it. There are several schools of thought on the subject, pardon the pun, but no one philosophy on education covers every child in every situation. But if we could teach a robot to learn as a human does, we could fundamentally perfect the education system. One research team that...
