Abstract

This collection of articles explores the multifaceted dimensions of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) within educational and societal contexts. It delves into philosophical, social, psychological, legal, and ethical aspects of AI and robotics development, emphasizing their transformative impact on education and human interaction. The anthology covers key themes such as the integration of educational robotics in inclusive STEM environments, the evolution of AI and its influence on daily life, and the role of immersive technologies in shaping social interactions and the metaverse. It also examines global and Ukrainian experiences in implementing robotics and AI in education, including innovative approaches like STEAM volunteering, 3D modeling, and gamification to foster engineering thinking, creativity, and soft skills. The collection highlights practical applications, such as web interfaces for robotic systems, AI-driven educational tools, and competitions like Line Follower, alongside model STEM and robotics curricula for modern schooling. This comprehensive resource is valuable for educators, researchers, and policymakers seeking to navigate the challenges and opportunities of AI and robotics in education.
