Robot assistants offer a variety of benefits in higher education classrooms, including addressing the shortage of teachers and increase of student engagement. However, due to their high price, the robots should be able to perform various tasks to fully utilize their potential. We tested the TEMI V3 robot assistant, driven by the custom-developed Teaching Assistant application, in three key classroom scenarios: attendance tracking, hybrid learning, and micro-learning. Nine students from Tallinn University of Technology evaluated the robot’s features and gave their feedback via semi-structured interviews. Our findings suggest that while teachers value robot assistants’ help with tedious routine tasks such as attendance check, the robots are also beneficial for hybrid learning by providing students with physical and social presence, and can be somewhat helpful for catching up with lesson contents. However, issues with privacy, authenticity of attendance records and technical questions were also brought up.
