Help educators to teach through robotic tools The use of robots to help adult learners is a relatively new filed, which has shown interesting results. Robots have been developed to support a wide range of educational activities, including training for specific skills, language learning, vocational education, continuing professional development and others.

Specific robotic devices have been developed to aid learners with disabilities as well, including developmental, learning and sensory disabilities, communication disorders, emotional and behaviour disorders and physical impairments. Most of the research to date pertains to the use of educational robots in school education for children and few projects have focused attention on adult education.

This project is going to address this gap and bridge the divide between the education and robotic sectors, who are responsible for teaching and training adults. Target groups Educators Professional trainers Adult learners (including learners with disabilities) Local stakeholders (adult education establishments, government agencies, researchers, NGOs and industry professionals)
