Robotics in Education: Transforming Learning Through Innovation

Chairs: Anikó Costa, Paulo Ferreira, Rui Lopes

We invite researchers, educators, and practitioners to submit papers exploring the integration of robotics in education. Topics of interest include innovative teaching methods, robotics in STEM curricula, educational robotics systems, AI and robots in education, hands-on applications, teacher training, and the social and ethical impacts of robotics in education. Join us in discussing how to shape the future of education through robotics!

Extended Reality Applied to Human-Robot Interaction

Chairs: Paulo Menezes, Ana Lopes, Paulo Gonçalves and João Bimbo 

Extended reality blends real and virtual worlds, transforming how humans and robots collaborate. By sharing spatial understanding, extended reality enables seamless cooperation on tasks through intuitive interaction. Extended reality devices, like robots, perform spatial perception tasks (e.g., visual SLAM), facilitating colocalization and enhancing human-robot interaction.

Extended Reality interfaces include Augmented Reality (AR), overlaying virtual elements on the real world; Virtual Reality (VR), immersing users in digital environments; and Mixed Reality (MR), merging real and virtual content interactively. AR and MR are particularly vital for enabling shared spatial awareness and collaboration.

This special session highlights advances in Extended Reality for human-robot collaboration across industries like healthcare, manufacturing, and education, showcasing new developments and applications.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS 

Ana C. Murillo Beyond Handcrafted Rules: AI-Driven Drone Swarms
Ana is associate professor at the University of Zaragoza, and one of the two coordinators of the Robotics, Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence Lab (https://ropert.i3a.es/), where she leads a team of researchers in computer vision and machine learning. She obtained her PhD in Computer Science at the University of Zaragoza, about Visual Localization for Robotics, and since then she has been faculty at the University of Zaragoza, visiting faculty at UC San Diego and scientist at different companies. She has participated in numerous publications, research projects and consulting industry projects on the fields of computer vision, machine learning and robotics. Her current research topics include visual recognition and scene understanding for different robotics and healthcare applications, which present data and resource constrained environments and applications.
