Abstract :
Robotics in the field of education has attracted the attention of scholars as a valuable tool in the direction of flourishing and cultivating cognitive/social skills in support of learning in the field of education. The aim of the current research is to identify the main topic clusters, conceptual developments and key players and the state of knowledge in this field. The research method in the present research is applied in terms of objective and quantitative in terms of research methodology, and it was done by systematic review method. The statistical population of the research is 248 patients after screening. VOSviewer software was used for analysis. Based on the findings of the research, the main areas of study are: educational robots, educational technology and the development of computational thinking, studies that deal with the effects of educational robots on students and exceptional students, interactive environment, efficiency, achievement, knowledge and program. Education is focused. In terms of time evolution, research findings showed that research priorities and topics have evolved over time, and key concepts such as learning, creativity, and the effects of educational robots have been repeated over time. In the field of inter-organizational cooperation, the findings of his research showed that the level of these cooperations is very low, and the study area in question has scattered literature, which is more influenced by the scientific literature of America and Spain. In summarizing the findings of the research, it can be mentioned that this field of study has grown rapidly in recent years and it seems that in the coming years and with the development of new technologies in the field of robotics, it will be more and more interested in educational sciences and other disciplines. Strings should be placed.
