Robotics and the development of information technologies represent the trend of the 21st century, which affects all areas of human life. Education, or learning process, in which efforts to educate younger age students in new technologies could make a significant contribution to the next era of technological development, is no exception to the use of new technologies. The limitation of education in Slovakia is the lack of financial resources for the provision of modern educational tools. For this reason, the Yrobot platform was developed within the project of the Technical Cybernetics Department at the Faculty of Management Science and Informatics of the University in Žilina. The Yrobot Platform has been successfully deployed in the educational process of high schools in cooperation with the Pontis Foundation and Volkswagen Slovakia. The gradual Yrobot platform development has created conditions for more effective education of students in electronics, computer science and computer engineering. This article presents the Yrobot platform development and location in educational process in slovak schools.
