The development of computational thinking has emerged as an area of educational development due to its relevance in problem solving. However, it is an area that still requires models and strategies to train students and evaluate the acquisition of related skills. One such strategy is educational robotics, in which children are offered additional motivation for the creation and development of software-based solutions. This article presents a review of the literature, in an attempt to deepen the way in which various researchers perceive the relationship between Educational Robotics and Computational Thinking, showing where these two currents converge and investigating the way in which the The first can contribute to the development of the second. In addition, some findings are presented on those Computational Thinking skills that are affected by robotics activities. Finally, some relevant criticisms about the way in which these two aspects are integrated in practice are addressed.
