Development of an Interactive Mobile Robot for Playful Learning and Language Teaching

This paper presents a mobile robot for development of interactive games and language learning purposes based on the Kinect v2. The game uses interface seeks to take advantage of human computer interaction in a playful way through gesture recognition. This work combines robotics and games, games and language learning, and some recent developments about robotics and language learning. The hardware used to build the mobile robot is described as well as the ludic game for language teaching by an interface human-robot. Performance of the platform is assessed by means of real-time experiments by students using a non-linear control based on a trajectory tracking during various practices. The experiment proves the platform potential for supporting ludic game and tested successfully and then discuss the results and mention future perspectives.
