Abstract

Summary In conditions of rapid development and implementation of robotics in various spheres of human life, there is a need for high-quality training of IT specialists, programmers, and engineers. In the near future, such professions for the development of various branches of the state's economy, where special attention will be paid to the development of robotic systems will be needed.

It is the introduction of STEM education in educational institutions, the creation of STEM laboratories, aimed at better training of future computer specialists, and the use of modern software, which allows future engineers to develop critical thinking, quickly make the right technical decisions and familiarize themselves with the latest technologies in the robotics industry. Now the term "Educational robotics" is widely used.

"Educational Robotics" is a tool that provides a solid foundation for the development of systems thinking by combining the development of computer science, mathematics, physics, drawing, technology, science and engineering. Most students consider continuing their education to become an engineer or programmer in robotics, mechanics, etc.

Studying the science of technology will help develop the necessary skills. Through the design, construction, assembly and commissioning of robots, educational robotics supports and deepens knowledge in certain fields and develops the abilities of students. That is, children acquire knowledge in the process of designing and creating robots. Training takes place using robotic sets and virtual laboratories.

In connection with the transition of educational institutions to distance learning and the lack of funds for the appropriate equipment for studying robotics, there is a need to study virtual platforms, online services and visual editors related to robotics.

Therefore, this article highlights the possibilities and advantages of studying robotics in distance learning conditions and analyzes modern technologies and tools, in particular, virtual environments, online platforms and mobile applications. Recommendations for choosing and using services depending on the age of the child are also provided.
