“…And, when the human teacher is assisted by a humanoid robot, education will be more efficient than today, provided the robot’s activities resemble the roles and functions of the educator, personally conveying, in a social way, new knowledge to the learner, according to the learner’s individual style and cognitive needs (e.g. Dimitrova and Wagatsuma, 2015 ; Dimitrova et al, 2020 ). Detecting and diagnosing mental states of the learners, however, is a challenge to the overall approach yet a realistic aim (e.g., Schartner et al, 2015 ).…”

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) for special education rely on effective mental and brain processing during the lesson, performed with the assistance of humanoid robots. The improved diagnostic ability of the CPS is a prerogative of the system for efficient technological support of the pedagogical process. The article focuses on the available knowledge of possible EEG markers of abstraction, attentiveness, and memorisation (in some cases combined with eye tracking) related to predicting effective mental and brain processing during the lesson. The role of processing abstraction is emphasised as the learning mechanism, which is given priority over the other mechanisms by the cognitive system. The main markers in focus are P1, N170, Novelty P3, RewP, N400, and P600. The description of the effects is accompanied by the analysis of some implications for the design of novel educational scenarios in inclusive classes.

“…Why is it inappropriate to implement a psychological level of analysis? This issue was discussed in (Dimitrova [7]): "The psychological level of 'predicting behavior in response to opinion', in our view, is the "uncanny" case.…”

The paper presents an opinion on the approach to endowing humanoid robots with 'essential' features for use in healthcare. The essential 'human' features of the cyber-physical nurse are defined on three levels of analysis -physical, social and/or psychological. It is argued that the deployed algorithms, beyond the physical level, have to perform on the social level of analysis, acting as high level synthetic sensors, not existing in nature, but mimicking complex subjective phenomena such as 'affection' detection.

“…Социалната компетентност възниква когато може са се направи коректна прогноза за "поведение в отговор на нагласа" -приятелска, разбираща, емпатична, и пр. Роботът трябва да може коректно да прецени нагласата на детето от наблюдение на неговите действия и същевременно да "възпроизвежда" позитивни, емпатични нагласи [21].…”

The paper presents the main ideas, motivating two ongoing research projects, justifying the need to move to STEAM education. The proposed novel type of cyber-physical systems - for pedagogical rehabilitation in inclusive education - is outlined. The role of puppet theatre in maximising the learning outcomes in inclusive education is substantiated. It has been also shown that integrating game, puppet theatre and social robotics is beneficiary in the classroom. Social robots have a significant potential for transition of the cognitive analysis of the behaviour of humans and robots from the physical to the social level. This is the core of the proposed in the paper approach for the STEAM education of the future.
