Abstract

An educational use of Pepper, a personal robot that was developed by SoftBank Robotics Corp. and Aldebaran Robotics SAS, is described. Applying the two concepts of care-receiving robot (CRR) and total physical response (TPR) into the design of an educational application using Pepper, we offer a scenario in which children learn together with Pepper at their home environments from a human teacher who gives a lesson from a remote classroom. This paper is a case report that explains the developmental process of the application that contains three educational programs that children can select in interacting with Pepper. Feedbacks and knowledge obtained from test trials are also described.
