Update! We have been awarded the Best 'Design' Paper Award for our paper on the Cellulo robot. Great!
We have two papers accepted for presentation at the HRI 2017 conference next March in Vienna!
The first one presents Cellulo, the new little robots we have created at EPFL: small, cheap, 'child-proof', holonomic and self-localised, they might well be the future of robotics in the classroom! And we already have many ideas how to use them to enhance learning in innovative ways, like this real-world simulation of molecules.
The second one reports on the results of our experimentations with automatic speech recognition for children: to put it simply, it does not work yet :-) Our dataset is online.
