Summary/Abstract: Educational robots can serve as smart, mobile and tangible learning objects which can explicitly represent knowledge through actions and engage students through immersion and instant feedback. As pedagogical background, we employ the elements of Norman’s foundational theory of action and the Internet-of-Things Supported Collaborative Learning (IoTSCL) paradigm, which is based on constructivism. We describe the application of educational robots in project-based teaching at the university course. Positive relationship between successful implementation of robotics project and assimilation of theoretical knowledge has been established.
