ABSTRACT
We investigate the use of care-receiving robot (CRR) for the purpose of supporting childhood education. In contrast to the conventional teaching agents that are designed to play the role of human teachers or caregivers, the robot here receives cares from children. We hypothesize that by using this CRR, we may construct a new educational framework whose goal is to promote children's spontaneous learning by teaching through teaching the CRR. The paper describes an experiment for investigating whether a CRR can promote children's learning English verbs through teaching it.

The implementation of care-receiving robot at an english learning school for children
HRI '11: Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Human-robot interactionA Care-Receiving Robot (CRR) is a robot which is designed so as to be taken care of by humans. The original concept of CRR and its application to reinforce children's learning by teaching was proposed by [4]. In contrast to the conventional use of '...
Progressive development of an autonomous robot for children through parallel comparison of two robots
HRI '14: Proceedings of the 2014 ACM/IEEE international conference on Human-robot interactionThis study proposes and demonstrates a progressive development method for an autonomous robot that is used for childhood education. The main concept in this method is to iteratively explore new behavioral factors and use them to progressively develop ...
