“…Cook et al, 2011;Robins et al, 2005). In the same way, a humanoid robot teaching physics to high school children, does not involve any sort of programming and it is not considered as ER (Ferrarelli et al, 2017;Shiomi et al, 2015). Some previous analysis of the literature on ER are the reviews of Benitti (2012), Mubin et al (2013), and Xia and Zhong (2018).…”

This paper aims to provide a critical review of the studies dealing with Educational Robotics for children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders. We aimed to investigate whether in the literature there is a sound evidence that activities with robots improve the abilities and performances of children with special needs. This paper explores the methodological aspects as well as the outcomes of the selected studies to provide a clear picture of the state-of-the-art on this topic. After a systematic search in the online database via keyword searches, 15 scientific papers were included in this review. We applied strict selection criteria limiting our review only to papers reporting educational robotics activities with children (from 3 up to 19 years old) with a diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders, in which the children had the opportunity to somehow program the behaviours of real robots. The majority of experiences showed improvements in the participants' performance or abilities, their engagement and involvement, communication/interaction with peers, during robotics sessions. Some studies reported mixed results, calling for the need to carefully design the objective and the related activities of each experience.

“…In our case, we envision a human-in-theloop pipeline in which end-user developers provide a set of task steps as hints, and a developer tool uses a task model constructed from task traces to suggest where additional steps, loops, or branch points might be needed. This vision is closely aligned with prior work in human-robot interaction, in which templates have been used as pre-existing generic, reusable program specifications to be selected and instantiated by end users [7].…”

Demonstration is an effective end-user development paradigm for teaching robots how to perform new tasks. In this paper, we posit that demonstration is useful not only as a teaching tool, but also as a way to understand and assist end-user developers in thinking about a task at hand. As a first step toward gaining this understanding, we constructed a lightweight web interface to crowdsource stepby-step instructions of common household tasks, leveraging the imaginations and past experiences of potential end-user developers. As evidence of the utility of our interface, we deployed the interface on Amazon Mechanical Turk and collected 207 task traces that span 18 different task categories. We describe our vision for how these task traces can be operationalized as task models within end-user development tools and provide a roadmap for future work. CCS CONCEPTS• Information systems → Crowdsourcing; • Computer systems organization → Robotics; • Human-centered computing → User interface design.

“…The actual execution of the experiment is planned for July 6-9, 2017 in a public event in the shopping mall Rives de l'Orne in Caen, where we aim at involving around 100 users 2 . The experimental protocol we propose here has been successfully applied in the different scenario of a teaching assistant robot [18], where several COACHES components were used to implement the system.…”

Abstract-In this paper, we present a robust system of selfdirected autonomous robots evolving in a complex and public spaces and interacting with people. This system integrates highlevel skills of environment modeling using knowledge-based modeling and reasoning and scene understanding with robust image and video analysis, distributed autonomous decisionmaking using Markov decision process and Petri-Net planning, short-term interacting with humans and robust and safe navigation in overcrowding spaces. This system has been deployed in a variety of public environments such as a shopping mall, a center of congress and in a lab to assist people and visitors. The results are very satisfying showing the effectiveness of the system and going beyond just a simple proof of concepts.
