English abstract:
Edutainment is an artificial word based on "Education" and "Entertainment" and was introduced in the nineties.
Lifestyle of young people has changed. Robotics is a very good tool to teach technology while, at the same time, always remaining very tightly anchored to reality. Robots can be used as tools in art. Robots will enable us to build real environments. From the ethical point of view robot toys can become kidsī companions, e.g. "friend", "brother", ........;
Therefore we used robots very early for teaching in our laboratory courses. Some exercises will be described and discussed including the feedback of our students in this contribution
