| Background With the growth of the social robot market, the fields to which social robots are applied are also expanding, and in particular, the growth of educational social robots is also remarkable. Affected by these changes, robot design research is also actively progressing. However, research is mainly conducted on the entire field to which social robots are applied, and research on the design of educational social robots is insufficient. This study suggests basic data explaining the design features and trends of educational social robots.
Methods In this paper, the definition of robot design is theoretically examined, the role of robot design is redefined, and the trends of educational robots by country and the role of educational robots is studied in literature. Based on these theoretical studies, the analysis frame is set as the role, appearance, behavior and educational contents of educational social robots, and cases of social robots for interactive communication is selected and analyzed.
Result First, educational social robots perform multiple roles, and in particular, the role of peers is emphasized. Second, the educational contents is expanded to language and educational convergence, and customized contents is provided for natural dialogue with users. Third, in terms of appearance, there was a tendency to reduce the rejection of communication by using cute faces resembling characters and icons, small-sized robots, and vivid colors or pastel colors. Fourth, nonverbal communication is emphasized by reproducing humanoid robots that resemble human body structures to behave very similarly to people by reacting to conversations with users.
Conclusion The results of this study are limited because this study was conducted mainly on literature research and limited cases. However, through analysis, it was found that the educational social robot provide customized educational service by recognizing the learner's learning progress and emotions and develop into a platform designing for emotional and direct communication. |
