Abstract

This video illustrates the large-scale experiment of the L2TOR project that will be presented at the HRI 2019 conference. The experiment aimed to investigate how 192 Dutch 5-year-old children could learn 34 English words from a NAO robot in 7 lessons. The experiment compared 4 conditions: 1) robot using iconic gestures, 2) robot without iconic gestures, 3) tablet only, and 4) a control group. The results revealed that children could learn more English words in all experimental conditions compared to the control group. The three experimental conditions did not show any significant differences regarding the learning outcomes.
