Introducing a Robotic Arm For Remedial Teaching: The impact of motion type on robot-student interaction

This project is an attempt to investigate the efficacy of a Robotic Arm as a paradigm-changing teaching aid in a graphomotorics therapy environment. The project investigates if a collaboration between human teacher and a robotic arm can significantly improve the quality of a teaching session. A series of experiments tested two modes of robotic arm movements: "Human-like" and "Robotic" with two different robots. The experiments featured exercises that improve graphomotorics contributing abilities such as fine motor skills, serial and spatial memory. These exercises, based predominantly on pointing and gesturing by a teacher, were conducted by a robotic arm, and included feedback on successful completion of the task. Results of preliminary experiments showed that in addition to positive interaction between the student and the robot, the basic relationship between student and teacher was also impacted by shifting the balance of power. Further research is required to conclude the optimal human-robot involvement.
