Children and Robots: Robots in Education and Therapy

08.04.2026

Technology and artificial intelligence are increasingly finding a place in the fields of education and therapy. In particular, robots with emotional intelligence can support children’s learning processes while also contributing to their social and emotional development. The Istanbul Robot Museum offers an impressive experiential space to introduce these developments to children.

Mini Ada and the Use of Robots in Education

The “Mini Ada” robot, which attracts significant attention from children at the Istanbul Robot Museum, stands out as an example of emotional robots used in education. Mini Ada can engage in simple dialogues with children and provide emotional responses using facial expressions and tone of voice. This feature helps children develop an emotional connection while interacting with the robot.

For example, when children work with Mini Ada on mathematics or language activities, they can observe their achievements and efforts more concretely through the robot’s responses. This process increases motivation toward learning and supports the development of problem-solving skills. Mini Ada not only acts as an instructor but also behaves like a playmate, capturing children’s attention and making the learning process enjoyable.

Emotional Robots and Therapy Applications

Emotional robots can be used as an effective tool, especially in the education and therapy of children with autism. Children with autism may experience difficulties in social communication; emotional robots can make this communication easier and safer. Robots like Mini Ada, with their repetitive and predictable behaviors, reduce children’s anxiety while encouraging them to be more open to interaction.

During therapy sessions, children can develop skills in recognizing and expressing emotions while playing with robots. The patient and non-judgmental nature of robots helps children gain self-confidence and makes it easier for them to share their emotional experiences. Thus, children both have fun and can practice their social and emotional skills in a safe environment.

With emotional robot examples like Mini Ada, the Istanbul Robot Museum provides children with both educational and therapy-oriented experiences. Such robots will have broader applications in education and healthcare in the future, supporting children’s learning and social development processes.
