Robots and Children

Adults have been at the fore­front of robot­ic inno­va­tion for many years, but it may be time for the adults to step aside a bit. Chil­dren are start­ing in robot­ics ear­li­er and ear­li­er, which is giv­ing them skills that no one in the cur­rent gen­er­a­tion was lucky enough to have at such a young age. These future robot tech­ni­cians, sci­en­tists and engi­neers are inter­act­ing the robot­ic world around them every day.

There are sev­er­al robot­ic children’s toys on the mar­ket right now. There are robot­ic dinosaurs and dogs, there are dolls that walk and talk, and even books that read to you. Books like Leap­Pad intro­duce chil­dren to the world of com­put­ers and robot­ics at a very ear­ly age, as do the robot­ic pets like Hap­py Plush pets, which look like stuffed ani­mals, but are robot­ic at the core.

It is not a won­der that a child could get inter­est­ed in robot­ics at an ear­ly age because of this kind of expo­sure. There are mid­dle school and high school aged chil­dren that com­pete every year in robot­ic com­pe­ti­tions world­wide, build­ing their own robots and pro­gram­ming them to per­form a vari­ety of appli­ca­tions. These com­pe­ti­tions, as well as the mid­dle and high school robot­ics clubs and cur­ricu­lum are used to build inter­est and hope­ful­ly move some chil­dren towards a career in robot­ics in their future.

All in all, it is a child’s world today when it comes to robots. They under­stand a lot of the elec­tron­ic devices and robot­ics bet­ter than any cur­rent adult can, and many of them will go on to research and make major robot­ic dis­cov­er­ies for indus­tri­al and oth­er robot tech­nolo­gies in the future.
