Abstract

The fourth technological revolution, taking place before our eyes, is intended to free people from routine work. Countries in the lead of technological development are transferring to a new wave of innovation that is changing the geopolitical, geoeconomic, and geocultural space. A new reality is emerging, and what shape it will take and what our place will be in this new world are specified today by the educational system— the sphere of direct work with the future. A thesis according to which special focus should be given to robotics to prepare for cardinal changes and then use them in programs of secondary and higher education is substantiated.
