Education
in rural areas especially in government schools needs to be improved.
Technology is very much limited in these rural areas. Even internet and multimedia
tools usage has not penetrated in rural areas. Humanoid robot usage is a distant
dream for rural children but there are some case studies where the usage of technology
and robots have reaped benefits in terms of engagement. Artificial Intelligent
Techniques and Data Science aid these humanoid robots to further improve the
learning process. Even regional language based learning can be enabled using Humanoid
Robots and Natural Language processing. This chapter will explore relevant case
studies, robotic learning technology and propose a viable model to implement
this successfully in rural areas for improving the engagement level of the
students.
