A Systematic Literature Review on Applicability of Robot Assistants in Higher Education

As higher education navigates the shift toward digital and remote learning, innovative technological solutions, including robot assistants, are becoming increasingly important. This systematic literature review explores the potential use of robot assistants in higher education. The research method involves a systematic literature review using the Kitchenham approach, focusing on studies conducted from January 2019 to February 2024. The review identifies 30 relevant articles, discovering the utilization of robot assistants in supporting lectures, teaching practices, and improving learning processes. The discussion emphasizes the utilization of robot assistants in higher education, suggesting their transformative potential in providing personalized support. Ongoing exploration is essential for effectively utilizing robot assistants in higher education. However, the findings suggest that addressing the technical limitations of robots, alongside implementing clearer policies and enhancing teacher training, is essential for the effective adoption of these technologies.
