Increased robotics and interactivity in the higher education space post-pandemic
Trend - The Pandemic enforced many drastic changes in the education space, with virtual learning as the safest option. Now that most places in the world are no longer enforcing strict distancing rules, campuses can reopen -- however, they must do so with safety in mind. Connectivity and robotics are integral to this "new normal" of higher education.
Insight - This more technology-driven approach to campuses follows a pattern seen in many industries post-pandemic. Despite mandates lifting in many places, the threat of COVID-19 is still present, both physically, and psychologically. Technology is the key to providing safe, but familiar experiences as society moves into the next phase of the pandemic. Additionally, the use of exciting new technologies heightens experiences, making them feel more worth the risk, and ultimately speaking to a new set of needs.
