International Joint Conference SOCO’18-CISIS’18-ICEUTE’18 (SOCO’18-CISIS’18-ICEUTE’18 2018)

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 771))

Abstract

We propose storytelling as a central tool in social robotics and its use in educational environments, either for the conventional classroom or for children with special needs. Storytelling is not only a way to convey a message to the audience, but it is also an excellent guide for interaction. Stories provide the context and can be used also to model the child attention and current state of knowledge of the topic, i.e. to achieve user modelling.
