The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,999 RAPID grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to develop and evaluate a generative AI-powered robot design assistant for educational robotics. The project aims to investigate the potential of a task-oriented generative AI tool to support lower-performing learners and advance educational equity in robotics.

The key planned activities include the development and testing of a prototype AI-powered robot design assistant within a virtual robot-building game environment. The research will assess the design, implementation, and impact of this generative AI tool, evaluating its ability to improve task performance and motivation, especially among learners with less prior robotics experience. Outcomes will inform broader efforts to responsibly integrate generative AI technologies into education.

The award includes a planned sub-grant to Filament Games, LLC to collaborate on the prototype system development and research activities. The project will run from December 2023 through November 2024.
