CALL FOR PAPERS

9th Workshop of Robotics in Education (WRE 2018)
www.natalnet.br/wre2018

Robotics motivates and inspires people of all ages and education levels. In fact, many researchers have already shown that students get more interested and excited for learning several topics when robotics is involved in the learning process. As so, the use of robotics in education has gained great interest over the last decade. The Workshop of Robotics in Education is a forum for discussing scientifical, technical, educational, and other aspects about the usage of robotics in the learning process. The 9th edition of WRE (2018) will be held from 06-08th of November jointly with IEEE Latin American and Brazilian Robotics Conferences in Joao Pessoa, Paraiba, Brazil.

Conference topics of interest are, but not limited to:
  • Robotics at school
  • Robotics teachers formation
  • Robotics competitions
  • Educational robotics platforms
  • Robotics in informal teaching (extra class)
  • Study cases
  • Methodologies and materials for teaching
  • Web based robotics
  • Educational robotics simulation
  • Robotics in education curricula
  • Low cost educational robots
  • Social robotics
  • Robot-student interaction
