An Empathic Robotic Tutor in a Map Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this demonstration, we describe a scenario developed in the EMOTE project [2]. The overall goal of the EMOTE project is to develop an empathic robot tutor for 11-13 year old school students in an educational setting. The pedagogical domain we demonstrate here is to assist students in learning and testing their map-reading skills typically learned as part of the geography curriculum in schools. We demonstrate this scenario with a NAO robot interacting with the students whilst performing map-reading tasks in the form of a game on a touch-screen device.

I Remember You!: Interaction with Memory for an Empathic Virtual Robotic Tutor
We present a study that investigates the effect of incorporating memory in the interaction for a virtual robotic tutor in terms of helping children achieve a pedagogical goal and the perceived likeability and empathy of the tutor. The domain is a virtual robotic tutor who is guiding and helping learners through a mobile Treasure Hunt exercise that tests their map reading skills. The contributio...
متن کاملA Treasure Hunt With An Empathic Virtual Tutor: (Demonstration)
We present a demonstration of a Treasure Hunt Application with an Empathic Virtual Tutor. During the treasure hunt, this empathic agent adapts its interaction based on the affective state of the user to improve learning experience. We demonstrate the application domain; the technology used; and the app focusing on the empathic strategies applied.

متن کاملTowards Empathic Virtual and Robotic Tutors
Building on existing work on the design of artificial tutors with human-like capabilities, this paper describes the EMOTE project approach to harnessing the benefits of an artificial embodied tutor in a shared physical space. Embodied in robotic platforms or through virtual agents, the EMOTE project aims to capture some of the empathic and human elements that characterise a traditional teacher....
متن کاملTeacher Perspectives on the Potential for Scaffolding with an Open Learner Model and a Robotic Tutor
This paper considers the potential for scaffolding learning in openended learning environments using a robotic tutor and an open learner model. While we expect this approach to be more broadly applicable, we here illustrate with a map-reading activity in geography and/or environmental sciences. The paper presents issues raised in open-ended teacher interviews, which suggest real possibilities f...
