Abstract

Recently, team teaching has been popular to realize high quality of education. This paper discusses the role of robots based on team teaching in remote education. Robot partners can help a teacher and make class more easily. There are three different aims of robot edutainment, i.e., Learning on Robots, Learning through Robots, and Learning with Robots. The last one is to apply human-friendly robots instead of personal computers for computer-assisted instruction. We propose a monitoring system of a class and teleoperating method of physical robot partners conducting the team teaching. The essence of the proposed method is in the user interface of remote education. The experimental results show the effectiveness of each system used in the remote education system.
