A Humanoid Robot as a Teaching Assistant for Primary Education

In this paper, we propose an IDML tools which can provide teachers a humanoid robot to help them for engaging teaching activities in a classroom. Teachers can use this humanoid robot as a teaching assistant for providing an interactive learning experience to students. In order to evaluate the teaching efficacy of humanoid robot, we conducted a trial experiment in the primary education. Formative evaluations of the experiments not only proved that the humanoid robot can promote students' learning interest, but also found that humanoid robots have potential benefits for primary education and the possibility of robot-aided education in the classroom.
