Abstract

The article provides an overview of current developments in the field of anthropomorphic dental robots and their application in practice-oriented education. The aim of the study is to assess the physical and functional aspects of robot anthropomorphism, their impact on the psychometric characteristics of students, and to analyze the prospects for the development of these technologies. The paper examines key components of anthropomorphic robots, such as motion sensors, emotion recognition and speech synthesis systems, as well as the potential for using cloud technologies to enhance the efficiency of the educational process. The results demonstrate that anthropomorphic robots contribute to the improvement of educational methods, deepen understanding of the material, and foster the development of professional skills in students. However, technological challenges requiring further research were noted, including improving the realism of movements, voice interaction, and the integration of sensory systems. It is anticipated that further development of data processing technologies and cloud services will contribute to the creation of more interactive and adaptive educational platforms, enhancing student engagement and satisfaction.

Key words:

anthropomorphism, educational technology, robotics, dental education, simulation training
