Spatial Learning of Novice Engineering Students through Practice of Interaction with Robot-Manipulators

This paper presents a study in which learning interactions of novice engineering students with robot manipulators focus on training spatial skills. To support the interactions, we customized the robots' workspaces, designed virtual robotic cells, and …

The Cautious Attitude of Teachers Towards Social Robots in Schools

Social robots are increasingly being applied in educational environments such as schools. It is important to understand the views of the general public as social acceptance will likely play a role in the adoption of such technology. Other literature …

The Effect of Repeating Tasks on Performance Levels in Mediated Child-Robot Interactions

That “practice makes perfect” is a powerful heuristic for improving performance through repetition. This is widely used in educational context, and as such provides a potentially useful feature for application to child-robot interactions in …
