“…Children successfully took on this teaching role and built an affective bond with the robot, being engaged with this teaching process and motivated to focus on the task and pay attention throughout multiple lengthy sessions. Chandra et al [5] found that children's perception of the robot's ability to learn was formed over time, and suggest that such perceptions may affect the child's own learning: children showed more improvements in their handwriting when tutoring a robot actually capable of learning.…”

Interactive learning technologies, such as robots, increasingly find their way into schools. However, more research is needed to see how children might work with such systems in the future. This paper presents the unsupervised, four month deployment of a Robot-Extended Computer Assisted Learning (RECAL) system with 61 children working in their own classroom. Using automatically collected quantitative data we discuss how their usage patterns and self-regulated learning process developed throughout the study.

“…Moreover, in some studies children showed increased learning gains when a child acted as the robot's teacher. In some of these studies, the robot was able to learn from its own mistakes through the children's feedback (e.g., Chandra et al, ; Jacq, Lemaignan, Garcia, Dillenbourg, & Paiva, ). These results also suggest that robots can increase child engagement and motivation in educational settings.…”

The aim of this review was to examine the pros and cons of humanizing social robots following a psychological perspective. As such, we had six goals. First, we defined what social robots are. Second, we clarified the meaning of humanizing social robots. Third, we presented the theoretical backgrounds for promoting humanization. Fourth, we conducted a review of empirical results of the positive effects and the negative effects of humanization on human–robot interaction (HRI). Fifth, we presented some of the political and ethical problems raised by the humanization of social robots. Lastly, we discussed the overall effects of the humanization of robots in HRI and suggested new avenues of research and development.

Browsing the literature shows that an increasing number of authors choose to use the learning by teaching approach in the field of educational robotics. The goal of this paper is, on the one hand, to produce a review of articles describing the effects of this approach on learning and, on the other hand, to review the literature in order to explore the characteristics at the core of this approach. We will only focus on the work using a humanoid robot. The areas of learning studied are writing, reading, vocabulary, and reasoning, but also there are some metacognitive abilities like task commitment and mental state attribution. Their targets are from very young children to preadolescents. We can already notice some studies on pupils with special educational needs. In all of these domains, the results show a nonnegligible effect of learning by teaching both on learning and on metacognitive abilities. If the concept of learning by teaching is clear, a careful investigation of the different studies shows that experimental paradigms do not use the same basic characteristics. For some, it is the robot’s weakness, the care that must be given to it, which is the main requirement for the approach, while for others it is the unbalanced distribution of knowledge which is at the heart of it. The learning by teaching approach we will study has two components: the robot and the child tutor. The characteristics of the robot and what is asked of the child to accomplish his or her task of the tutor will be analyzed.
