Ya-Wen Cheng, Pei‐Chen Sun, Nian‐Shing Chen · 2017
Robot has been receiving increasing attention and robot in education is considered a promising aid for teaching and learning in many ways. This study attempts to investigate the need of the educational robot among six different user groups (pre-school user, primary school user, high school user, college user, adult user and elderly user). A triangulation technique was applied for cross validation, including systematic literature review, experts' interview and instructors' survey. It is expected that through this research the need of educational robot for six user groups can be clearly identified and to propose future directions for the development of educational robots.
