Humanoid robots expand possibilities in public education

oglobo10 September 2026 at 21:09

In 2024, public schools throughout Brazil face high rates of school dropout, lack of vacancies, and insufficient technological infrastructure. In this context, entrepreneur Jailson Ferreira da Silva, from the educational sector, proposes a technology-based solution.

Ferreira da Silva advocates for the introduction of humanoid robots and robotics kits in public school classrooms. Humanoid robots are programmable machines capable of speaking, moving, and responding to questions, while the kits allow students to assemble and program mechanical devices.

According to the entrepreneur, these tools spark students' curiosity and facilitate the practice of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics concepts. The robots can be configured to meet the needs of students with disabilities, expanding inclusion in schools.

Among the highlighted benefits is the stimulation of logical reasoning, since interaction with robots requires solving structured problems. The systems can also be adapted for different learning profiles, expanding the possibilities for inclusion in public schools.
