Educational Robots and Robotics at the Intersection of AI
Designing, Learning, and Teaching in Intelligent Embodied Environments
It is with great pleasure that we announce that the 4th International Workshop of the EATEL Special Interest Group (SIG)
EduRobotX has been accepted for the 21st European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (ECTEL 2026)
in Valencia, Spain.
The full-day workshop will be held on one of the pre-conference days between 14 and 15 September 2026.

ECTEL 2026 Workshop Page and proceed to Workshop #11.
Workshop Focus
The EduRobotX 2026 workshop explores the intersection of educational robots, robotics, and artificial intelligence
(AI), focusing on how intelligent embodied systems can enhance teaching and learning across K–12, higher education, and lifelong learning.
Bringing together researchers, educators, and practitioners, the workshop explores adaptive, collaborative, and experiential learning opportunities enabled by AI-enhanced robotics while addressing pedagogical, ethical, and design challenges.
Through expert presentations, demonstrations, best practices, co-design activities, and collaborative discussions, participants will contribute to developing interdisciplinary educational robotics applications and a shared scientific research agenda.
Expected Outcomes
- Collaborative scientific publication
- New international research collaborations
- Framework for empirical studies in educational robotics
- Responsible AI integration into education
- Exchange of innovative educational practices
Call for Contributions
Researchers, educators, developers, and practitioners are invited to submit an extended abstract presenting research, innovative teaching practices, case studies, demonstrations, or design experiences related to educational robotics and AI.
Accepted peer-reviewed contributions will be presented during highly interactive workshop sessions that foster discussion, networking, and future collaborations.
