Forget laptops - tomorrow's classrooms could be getting their lessons from robots.

This is ED-E, a humanoid robot and learning tool that featured in education tech supplier RM's Shaping Education for the Future display at the annual Bett educational technology show.

silicon.com went along to the show at London's Olympia to check out ED-E and other technology that could be making its way into classrooms in the next few years.
