Abstract
We present a method for testing shaping-based training of human behavior in a repetitive memory drill. Our work is focused on Socially Assistive Robotics (SAR), a field formed by the intersection of Socially Interactive Robotics (SIR, robots whose goal is to socially interact with human users) and Assistive Robotics (AR, robots whose goal is to assist those in need, typically through physical contact). SAR focuses on providing assistance through non-contact social interaction [3], with a broad spectrum of applications in education. Our goal is to show that a robot can behave expressively in order to shape and enhance a user’s learning experience. This work, as part of our general SAR research, is aimed at applications in health care and special education, where our interviews with teachers have shown a desire for robots that can engage one or a group of students in learning activities.
