Educational robotics is seen as a tool for the formation of new generations, in a culture of scientific and technological innovation. The country’s leadership and the Ministry of Education (MINED) have proposed its introduction into the Cuban general education system. There is a sectoral project by MINED that in its scientific work determined that there are conditions in the country that can favor its introduction into general education, but these are insufficient for the success of this endeavor. In order to provide a clear framework with a holistic and interconnected approach and establish specific criteria that ensure a solid process for introducing educational robotics, the requirements for its introduction were determined. The aim of the presented article is to present the requirements for the introduction of educational robotics in Cuban general education. The work was carried out through a qualitative study, using theoretical methods including analysis, synthesis, and generalization to draw conclusions, systematization, and document analysis, as well as empirical methods among which surveys to collect opinions stood out. The article presents a synthesis of the requirements established in eighteen countries for the introduction of educational robotics and the study of the existing conditions in Cuba. The results include four main requirements that were validated by the Delphi method. These provide a starting point for introducing robotics into Cuban general education.

Keywords : educational robotics; cuban general education; requirements.
