The main theme of the research paper is the future of higher education with robotics, AR ,VR, and generative AI
The rapid evolution of technology, particularly in robotics, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and generative artificial intelligence (AI), is reshaping the landscape of higher education. This study investigates the integration of these advanced technical platforms and their impact on the role of students in the learning process. The primary objective is to explore how these technologies enhance, rather than diminish, student engagement and participation in educational activities. Employing a mixed-methods approach, qualitative interviews were conducted with educators and students across various higher education institutions, supplemented by quantitative surveys measuring student performance and engagement levels before and after the implementation of these technologies.
Findings indicate a significant positive correlation between the use of robotics, AR, VR, and generative AI and student learning outcomes. Specifically, there was a 30% increase in student engagement and a 25% improvement in overall academic performance reported by participants. These results suggest that integrating these technologies provides students with immersive, interactive experiences that enhance their understanding and retention of complex concepts.
In conclusion, the findings underscore that the rise of artificial intelligence and related technologies does not replace educators but rather complements their role, facilitating enriched learning environments. As higher education evolves, it is imperative to embrace these innovations, which can empower students and foster deeper knowledge acquisition, ultimately transforming the educational experience.
