Although robots have been used for quite some time in education on school and university level, we found no reports of robots being used in the teaching of medical informatics. Thus we present the timetable and structure of a one week, 2 ECTS blocked course for robots in medical informatics initiated in autumn 2022. 19 participants completed the first iteration. We report about the requirements in terms of an appropriate programming environment, the combination among robots and our medical informatics lab and the results of the student’s evaluation of the first instance as well as the experiences with the two types of robots used.
