Implementing new technologies in adaptable robotic appliances based on multidisciplinary approaches creates at least a twofold problem: to properly design the multifaceted robotic behavior and to render as simplified as possibly the maintenance and monitoring of its components. In this article is described an adopted solution for managing a robotic appliance meant for e-learning and e-commerce application, the Robo-eLC. The designed tutoring interface constitutes a learning interface for non-experts that need to re-design and control the robotic behaviors. By constructing the robotic learning elements, the non-experts acquire, step by step, a deep understanding of ICT means and e-learning contents, becoming in a short period experts of the learning systems they have to manage. The robot, capable of incentivizing customersý interaction via its multimodal interface, can help them in making thoughtful money operations (i.e. donations for charity activities in the test cases of the ongoing research).
