An Edutainment Robotics Survey

Abstract

In this survey, we describe different categories of edutainment robots. We classify these in robots with no interaction, with limited interaction, and extensive interaction possibilities. A non-exhaustive market survey shows that there are numerous edutainment robots in all categories, and psychological considerations suggest that the systems with extensive interaction and construction possibilities may provide advantages, in some cases. In order to explore these categories, we made development for all three categories and describe the experiments briefly.
