Abstract:
Socio-educational robotics can be defined as investigating teaching-learning processes involving robots capable of bonding, learning and communicating. These robots are used as a didactic tool for their ability to interact with people, and they are designed to meet their objectives and benefit the human beings involved in the process. Therefore, it is essential to recognize the social and educational purpose of the intervention itself that will be carried out with them. However, the deontological code of the pedagogy profession does not include social robotics since it is a relatively new phenomenon in education. All the didactic interventions using robots must be designed to be compatible with the ideals of human dignity, rights, freedoms and cultural diversity.
