What is the future of VEX Educational Robots?

I just went to the Wuhan Sports Center last weekend to watch the World Robot Competition, which should be the highest standard robot competition to watch at home! A lot of children are running around the stadium with robots, and they are very impressed by the VEX robot competition, with plastic parts and metal parts, with different competition themes, and the smaller one is VEX IQ, holding the remote control to control the robot to collect the target to the scoring area, and finally hoisting their machine on the middle beam. The game of metal EDR is even more enjoyable, controlling the robot to shoot small hits on the sidelines of the flag to score, and also rushing to turn the plate, the game is very intense.

Through friends to understand that this vex robot is the United States, in recent years in China more and more popular, parents have sent their children to learn vex robot, this is very exercise children's hands-on ability, but also to learn mechanical engineering and other knowledge, live learning, let the robot move if you have to learn programming, these children are really very powerful. Moreover, the state now attaches great importance to this area, and the independent enrollment programs of many colleges and universities also attach great importance to students' participation experience in this area, and I personally feel that the development prospects are very good.

Robot education has been very popular recently, and the STEM education in Europe and the United States is very closely related, through the hands-on construction of robots to familiarize yourself with the knowledge of learning STEM (science, technology, engineering, humanities) in various fields, not only can exercise hands-on ability and critical thinking, but also like some world-renowned robot events can be participated, such as the VEX Robot Competition, participating in the event can contact teams around the world, forming a team to participate in the competition for children's exercise more, from robot design, building, To the commissioning of the participants, the cooperation of the team members is required, which can cultivate children's team spirit, as well as soft skills such as project management and leadership.

The most official is of course the VEX Academy, which is owned by VEX Robotics.

Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Jiangsu and many other cities have them.

Educational robots are very promising, as an emerging field in practical application there are many difficulties such as course management platform, corresponding learning content and lack of teachers, but with the increasing market demand for educational robots, its development prospects are very broad and optimistic.

It is estimated that the global robotics market is expected to reach $82.7 billion in 2020, and the global market size of educational robots will reach $11.1 billion in the next 5 years (2016 to 2021) based on global market research reports on education and robotics and the development history of similar products.

In the context of the good prospects for the development of robots, China also attaches great importance to the application and development of educational robots, not only to carry out various competitions, educational robots are also used in teaching inside and outside the classroom, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Jiangsu and other places have incorporated educational robots into local curricula or school-based curricula, so as to promote the cultivation of learners' innovative thinking, design thinking and computational thinking. With the gradual maturity of robotics technology, the research and education of robots has become an inevitable trend.

The emergence of educational robots is comprehensively promoting the innovation and development of the education system, it has always been to stimulate students' interest in learning, cultivate students' comprehensive ability as the goal, drive children's interest in learning at home, and promote children's learning and development and healthy growth through the combination of edutainment, education and daily life. On the whole, the practical application potential of educational robots will be unlimited.

Of course there is, and it's promising.

This is a huge system work, which requires multi-faceted cooperation and support, which is like the development of the blackboard newspaper many years ago to the most ** education, the initial upgrade to the current popular robot education, the need for a process of development and acceptance, education is a never-ending plate in human history, so the development prospects of the robot education industry are relatively optimistic.

Educational robot products are robot products, sets or parts specially developed by manufacturers to stimulate students' interest in learning and cultivate students' comprehensive ability.

The main factor affecting the demand for educational robot products is the development of the downstream market, and the rapid development of the downstream market, such as competitions, teaching and other industries, has laid a good foundation for the growth of the market demand for educational robots. Therefore, in recent years, the upsurge of robot education has also led to the continuous heating up of the educational robot industry.

Educational robots have a future. Educational robot is a representative of the application of robots in the field of education, and is a typical application of artificial intelligence, speech recognition and bionic technology in education, with the goal of cultivating students' analytical ability, creative ability and practical ability. Educational robots will become a trend in the future, today's society needs talents with innovative consciousness and creative thinking, and the future society is even more so, so educational robots are very promising.

At the same time, there are already some domestic enterprises and companies that can produce educational robots or teaching platforms. Different types of educational robots will continue to emerge, and the concept of robot education will penetrate into all levels of primary school, middle school and university. For different groups of people, laboratory teaching with different functions is adopted to maximize the potential of students.

Teaching robots are becoming more and more widely used and will become more popular in the future.

Science and technology education has progressed with the development of the times. From the origami airplane in the manual labor course to the current popularization of computer education is an important means of development, to today, from the simple computer basic course learning into the integration of a variety of disciplines of knowledge of robot education learning, science and technology education is ushering in a new leap, educational robots will have unlimited prospects.

The current prospects are not good, robots are gradually replacing various industries, but education is very humane, and educational robots should go a long way.

The prospects of educational robots are still quite broad, but there is still a long way to go if they want to meet the taste of the public.

With the increasing degree of automation and intelligence, the prospect of educational robots is still good.

The prospects are promising, but they are still inseparable from human beings, after all, education also requires emotional investment.

It has a future, but it is not a substitute for teachers, it can only be used as a tool to assist teaching.

If technology can make robots more flexible, the prospects are promising.

I don't dare to say too far, at least there will be no big prospects in the next two or three decades, after all, the current educational robots are too outdated.

There are prospects, after all, this is the era of intelligence.

If we look at the current situation of just grabbing a wave of quick money, the future is worrying.

Educational robotics is a promising industry.

As a carrier of STEAM education, VEX robots can help students promote students' ability development and personality development from two aspects: science and technology and humanities.

On the one hand, it will enhance students' [hard power]: mechanical engineering, computer science, control theory and control engineering, electronic engineering and other engineering fields, as well as practical applications such as science and technology, mathematics, etc. It is simply understood as the knowledge of science and engineering.

On the other hand, it will improve students' [soft skills]: leadership and creativity, teamwork ability, hands-on trial and error ability, project management and presentation ability, innovation and creativity, English communication ability and independent thinking ability.

Note: STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Humanities, and Mathematics
