(1) Background. The current stage of Kazakhstan's development is characterized by the formation of a digital economy. One of its aspects involves improving the quality of education through its digital transformation. This approach aligns with modern global trends that facilitate the active development and operation of software, hardware, and robotic systems for organizing, maintaining, monitoring, and managing the educational process. Consequently, the objective of this work is to develop a concept for an intelligent robotic assistant to aid in conducting school lessons. The object of the study is physics lessons conducted in the primary and secondary schools of Kazakhstan until the completion of training. (2) Methods. For the digital transformation of the research object, methods of system analysis, graphical methods, simulation modeling, and object-oriented design were employed. Formal models of the application features of these methods were created, describing the input and output data, as well as their role within the digital assistant concept. (3) Results. The digital assistant concept comprises a hardware model and an autonomous robot, detailing its core functionality and its interaction with all participants in the educational process. The robot's social functions have been defined: demonstrating educational material, answering student questions, and monitoring student behavior and classroom conditions. The structure of the educational content, utilized in the form of technological maps, has been established. Based on this, a digital twin system has been developed, implementing a scenario for the functioning of the intelligent assistant during a lesson in a virtual environment. (4) Conclusion. The developed concept provides a unified approach to teaching schoolchildren, creating conditions for the formation of individual educational trajectories and a favorable, comfortable learning environment. The obtained results constitute a comprehensive educational model that establishes a unified digital ecosystem for the educational organization.
