Educational robotics has proven its positive impact on the performances and attitudes of students. However, educational environments that employ them rarely provide teachers with relevant information can be used to make an effective monitoring student learning progress. To overcome these limitations, in this paper we present IDEE (Integrated Didactic Environment), environment for physics, uses EV3 LEGO Mindstorms® kit as robotic component. support teachers, includes a dashboard provides...
The use of humanoid robots as assistants in therapy processes is not new. Several projects the past several years have achieved promising results when combining human–robot interaction with standard techniques. Moreover, there are multiple screening systems for autism; one most used Quantitative Checklist Autism Toddlers (Q-CHAT-10), which includes ten questions to be answered by parents or caregivers a child. We present Q-CHAT-NAO, an observation-based autism system supported NAO robot. It...
Over the last decade robotics has attracted a great deal of interest from teachers and researchers as valuable educational tool preschool to highschool levels. The implementation social-support behaviors in robot tutors, particular emotional dimension, can make significant contribution learning efficiency. With aim contributing rising field affective tutors we have developed ARTIE (Affective Robot Tutor Integrated Environment). We offer an architectural pattern which integrates any given...
Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is a growing area of interest in Artificial Intelligence that aims to make interaction with robots more natural. In this sense, numerous research studies on verbal and visual interactions have appeared. The present paper will focus non-verbal communicati and, specifically, gestures related speech, which an open question. With the aim developing part or HRI, new architecture proposed for assignment speech based analysis semantic similarities. way, be...
