The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is characterized as a
disease caused by a novel coronavirus known as severe acute respiratory coronavirus syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2; formerly known as 2019-nCoV). In December 2019, COVID-19 began to appear in a few countries. By the beginning of
2020, it had spread to most countries across the world. This is when education
challenges began to arise. The COVID-19 crisis led to the closure of thousands
of schools and universities all over the world. Such a situation requires reliance
on e-learning and robotics education for students to continue their studies to
avoid the mingling between people and students. In relation to this alternative
learning solution, the present study was conducted. A systematic literature
review on educational robotics (ER) keywords between 2015–2020 was carried
out for the purpose to review a total of 2253 articles from the selected sources;
Scopus (452), Taylor & Francis (311), Science Direct (427), IEEE Xplore (221),
and Web of Science (842). This review procedure was labelled as Taxonomy 1.
After ltering Taxonomy 1, it was found that 98 scientic articles formed the
so-called Taxonomy II that was categorized into six categories: (i) Robotics
concepts, (ii) Device, (iii) Robotic applications, (iv) Manufacturing robots, (v)
Robotics analysis, and (vi) Education/taxonomy. For this study, only 35 articles
in this specic eld were selected, of which were then assigned into three
categories: (i) Application, (ii) Platform, and (iii) Educational. The results
show that the application category carries 17.4%, platform 20%, and education 22.85%. This study serves as the application platform to help students,
academics, and researc
