When students interact with robots, they engage in semiotic processes. We ask: what are these, how do they work, and how do students learn from them? We begin with definitions linking pupils, robots and learning. Then we explain basic semiotic ideas introducing the Continental approach started by Ferdinand de Saussure and the American methods of Charles Sanders Peirce. By analysing six successful lessons from this new viewpoint, we find the value of robots beyond coding. We believe the semiotic approach could enrich the sample lessons, help teachers assess students’ work and hint at ways to improve robot designs.
