ABSTRACT

As one of the most destructive technologies in the Industry 4.0 Era, robotics has been applied into higher educational practices. In this paper, we critically review the current situation of robotics application in higher education. Taking a quantitative research method, we survey both instructors and students to have a general view of how they perceive robotics in their teaching and learning process, respectively. We find no statistical differences by gender groups and country of origin for instructors and students. At last, we discuss obstacles hindering the development and wide popularization of robotics in high education institutions and put forward some tentative suggestions for the future spread of robotics in higher education. The findings of this paper would be of interest for educators, national policy makers and students.
