Integration of visual programming and artificial intelligence in robotics education: The pedagogical possibilities of the NAO robot

The article examines the educational opportunities offered by the integration of visual programming, artificial intelligence, and robotics for the development of 21st-century skills. It focuses on the use of the NAO humanoid robot, which creates a playful, experience-based learning environment for students. To overcome the difficulties of programming, visual block programming is increasingly being used, which encourages logical thinking and creativity in individuals. The article also presents a web application that allows students to program the NAO robot, while an artificial intelligence-based chat assistant provides real-time support. This integrated approach not only motivates students, but also offers a new perspective on digital pedagogy and personalized learning, which could be a big help in the future in terms of both educational technology and methodology.
