The publications within “Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing” are primarily proceedings of important conferences, symposia and congresses. They cover significant recent developments in the field, both of a foundational and applicable character. An important characteristic feature of the series is the short publication time and world-wide distribution. This permits a rapid and broad dissemination of research results.

Educational robotics is an innovative way for increasing the attractiveness of science education and scientific careers in the view of young people. Robotics representsamultidisciplinaryandhighlyinnovativedomainencompassingphysics, mathematics,informaticsandevenindustrialdesignaswellassocialsciences.Asa multidisciplinary field, it promotes the development of systems thinking and problem solving. Due to various application areas, teamwork, creativity and entrepreneurial skills are required for the design, programming and innovative exploitation of robots and robotic services. The fascination for autonomous machinesandthevarietyoffieldsandtopicscoveredmakeroboticsapowerfulidea to engage with. Robotics confronts the learners with the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) through the design, creation and programming of tangible artifacts for creating personally meaningful objects and addressing real-world societal needs. Thus, young girls and boys can easily connect robots to their personal interests and share their ideas. As a conse- quence, it is regarded as very beneficial if engineering schools and university programstudiesincludetheteachingofboththeoreticalandpracticalknowledgeon robotics. In this context, current curricula need to be improved, and new didactic approaches for an innovative education need to be developed for improving the STEAM skills among young people. Moreover, an exploration of the multidisci- plinarypotentialofroboticstowardaninnovativelearningapproachisrequiredfor fostering the pupils’ and students’ creativity leading to collaborative entrepre- neurial, industrial and research careers. v vi Preface In these proceedings, we present methodologies and technologies for teaching and learning in the field of educational robotics. The book offers insights into the latest research, developments and results regarding curricula, activities and their evaluation. Moreover, the book introduces interesting programming approaches as well as new applications, technologies, systems and components for educational robotics. The presented applications cover the whole educative range, from kindergarten, primary and secondary school, to the university level and beyond. Besides, some contributions especially focus on teachers and their role in educa- tional robotics. In total, 40 papers were submitted and 29 papers are now part of these proceedings after a careful peer-review process. We would like toexpress our thanks to all authors who submitted papers to RiE 2021, and our congratula- tions to those whose papers were accepted. This publication would not have been possible without the support of the RiE International Program Committee and the Conference Co-Chairs. All of them deserve many thanks for having helped to attain the goal of providing a balanced event with a high level of scientific exchange and a pleasant environment.
