Robot Literacy

For Schools

Prepare students to understand robots, not simply use them.

The Robot Age’s Robot Literacy framework gives educators and students a shared language for discussing robots beyond coding or robotics engineering: capabilities, sensing, privacy, appropriate interaction, human responsibility and the role robots may play in society.

Example questions

• What does this robot actually understand?
• What information can it collect?
• How should children interact with it?
• When should a teacher or other human remain in control?

For Organizations

Make better decisions about when, where and how robots should be deployed.

The Robot Age’s Robot Literacy framework helps leaders, workers, designers and technology teams examine capabilities, human interaction, workflow changes, privacy, accessibility, risk and accountability before treating robotics as simply a technology purchase or engineering concern.

Example questions

• Should a robot perform this task?
• How will employees or customers interact with it?
• What happens when it fails?
• Who remains responsible?

For Individuals & Society

Build the knowledge needed to live and work alongside robots.

The Robot Age’s Robot Literacy framework gives professionals, students and the public a way to examine robots entering workplaces, public spaces and everyday life without needing to code or build robots, while understanding questions involving privacy, employment, accessibility, governance and human responsibility.

Example questions

• What should I know when I encounter a robot?
• What can it perceive about me?
• How could robots change my profession?
• What rules and expectations should society develop?
