Investigating the role of educational robotics in formal mathematics education: the case of geometry for 15-year-old students
Jérôme Brender, Laila El-Hamamsy, Barbara Bruno +3
Research has shown that Educational Robotics (ER) enhances student performance, interest, engagement and collaboration. However, until now, the adoption of robotics in formal educa…
Teachers' perspective on fostering computational thinking through educational robotics
Morgane Chevalier, Laila El-Hamamsy, Christian Giang +2
With the introduction of educational robotics (ER) and computational thinking (CT) in classrooms, there is a rising need for operational models that help ensure that CT skills are…
Exploring a Handwriting Programming Language for Educational Robots
Laila El-Hamamsy, Vaios Papaspyros, Taavet Kangur +5
Recently, introducing computer science and educational robots in compulsory education has received increasing attention. However, the use of screens in classrooms is often met with…
Online Human Gesture Recognition using Recurrent Neural Networks and Wearable Sensors
Alessandro Carfi, Carola Motolese, Barbara Bruno +1
Gestures are a natural communication modality for humans. The ability to interpret gestures is fundamental for robots aiming to naturally interact with humans. Wearable sensors are…
Paving the Way for Culturally Competent Robots: a Position Paper
Barbara Bruno, Nak Young Chong, Hiroko Kamide +9
Cultural competence is a well known requirement for an effective healthcare, widely investigated in the nursing literature. We claim that personal assistive robots should likewise…
A framework for Culture-aware Robots based on Fuzzy Logic
Barbara Bruno, Fulvio Mastrogiovanni, Federico Pecora +2
Cultural adaptation, i.e., the matching of a robot's behaviours to the cultural norms and preferences of its user, is a well known key requirement for the success of any assistive…
