Teaching in Digital Robotic Therapies is a component of the three-year Bachelor’s degree program in Digital Education offered by the Department of Surgery, Medical, Dental, and Morphological Sciences with an interest in Transplantation, Oncology, and Regenerative Medicine (CHI- MOMO). This course, integral to the Digital Education degree, serves as a bridge, effectively linking the formation of theoretical knowledge aimed at developing practical skills necessary for operating adequately and effectively within digital educational and training contexts with the contemporary prac- tices of support involved in onlife transformations. The distinctive features of training in Digital Robotic Therapies stem from the necessity to foster an understanding that can connect, both on a human and professional level, the rapid advancements in digital technologies with the field of education and psycho-pedagogy.

Keywords: digital technologies, human intelligence, developmental psy- chopathology, educational robotic.
