artificial intelligence education human robot ineraction robots for learning social robots
Robots are increasingly demonstrating significant potential as learning and teaching companions for children in classrooms or at home, for elderly people to help maintain their cognitive and physical abilities, and for learners with deficiencies by facilitating personalized instruction by adapting content to their specific needs. Robots show the potential to improve individual adaptation by learning from and with the user.
Currently, several research projects aim to apply HRI to education and learning across a broader range of disciplines beyond STEM, such as language and handwriting. These projects also extend beyond imparting domain-specific skills, like computational thinking, to fostering collaborative skills and addressing diverse end-users, including children (neurotypical and neurodivergent), adults, and the elderly (both healthy and cognitively challenged).
