As robots are becoming increasingly common in society and education, it is expected that autonomous and socially adaptive classroom robots may eventually be given responsible roles in primary education. In this presentation, the results of a questionnaire study carried out with students enrolled in compulsory education in three European countries will be presented. The study aimed to explore students’ normative perspectives on classroom robots pertaining to roles and responsibilities, student-robot relationships, and perceptive and emotional capabilities in robots.
