Abstract
Education is an indispensable part of everyone's life. It lays the ground for the future generation and is a prerequisite for an independent life. It also determines the future of a country and a nation, and affects a country’s development. With the advancement of technology, the world has tremendous changes. People have changed their lifestyles and use new technologies for connecting, interacting, reading, and obtaining information. Hence education needs to adapt to the new era and changes in social customs. This research throws light on the impact of artificial intelligence robots on the education sector. We initially found one hundred thirteen articles published between 1999 and 2019 and only 18 articles meeting the criteria. We then categorise these studies into the following topics: (1) the impact of artificial intelligence educational robots on the creativity and motivation of students’ learning, and (2) the impact of artificial intelligence robots in education. This chapter comprises of six parts: the first part is the introduction, the second part summarises the purpose and research questions of this chapter, the third part is a literature review of educational robots concluding that robotics has a unique role in education, the fourth part discusses the research methods and survey results of this study, the fifth part provides a summary and discovery, and the last part is the conclusion.
