Popis: This paper is a brief review of the literature on the use of educational robotics in primary school. The purpose is to explore the application of robotics and, more specifically, the advantages robotics offers to students, the challenges that arise from its application, and what is its place in the curricula. Educational robotics is an innovative and useful tool. It positively affects critical thinking, computational thinking, problem-solving, algorithmic thinking, creativity, and collaboration. The literature reveals that difficulties arise either at the technical level or due to teachers’ lack of relevant knowledge or the lack of relevant provisions for their effective integration into primary school curricula.
