| 摘要: | 微軟創辦人比爾蓋茲認為機器人將在未來１０年進入每個人的家庭，如同當年個人用計算機在１０年內進入家庭。本計畫針對此發展，對機器人在學習上的加值做思考，如何將機器人加值成為學生學習的工具、教具、學習夥伴、教學夥伴或是其他模式。同時，在學習上，情緒互動、同理心與說故事的能力也逐漸被重視。因此，我們將依循與改進Seymour Papert 與Mitchell Resnick 由LOGO 與 LEGO mindstorm 加上網路化後的學習理論distributed constructionism 為基礎，同時也將根據情感與戲劇的結構主義，文學的結構主義，設計與製作可以讓學生與教師容易程式化的學習機器人RobotKid。這個機器人主要除了一般LEGO mindstorm 的功能外，還具有社會互動、情緒互動與故事基本構造的基本辨認與反應組成模組，同時也可與環境互動如多媒體背景、其他玩偶與人的互動控制。目標為學習者可以將機器人RobotKid 設計成在劇場可以代替自己表演的角色如說故事或演說或戲劇或是成為自己的夥伴，讓學習者透過設計來學習【包含學習同理心與情緒互動】，這情形就如同家長在訓練自己的小孩去說故事或演講比賽或戲劇表演在這裡學童扮演家長的角色而機器人即是學童。機器人在學習上所扮演的角色還包括教師夥伴與合作學習的中介者。本計畫包含（１）使用機器人的學習模式與學習理論（２）學習材料設計：英文、機器人程式與設計與問題解決（３）包含機器人之學習模式之學習成果評量【包含心理與生理方向的評量】，（４）設計與製作具感情互動能力的機器人。為了考慮到計畫成果的推廣，計畫也有（５）包含機器人學習之教師訓練。我們希望透過本計畫形成一個卓越研究團隊，進行長期的研究與包含由示範、擴展、到實行的步驟。希望可以對學術、教育、與經濟【學習機器人產業】均有貢獻。有別於目前大多是將LEGO mindstorm 用於設計解決問題的學習上，申請者由情緒互動與同理心出發的機器人設計與將這樣的機器人用於學習上，本計畫團隊是在國際上相當獨特與領先的。 Bill Gate mentioned in Scientific America that robot will enter every home in ten year the same as personal computers have entered into almost every home in ten year. This project is to response to this trend, and to think about how robot can enhance learning, for example, robot can be as learning tools, teaching tools, learning companions, teaching partner, or some other models to enhance learning. At the same time, emotion interaction, empathy, and story telling capabilities are thought as basic capabilities that students need to learn. Therefore, this project will design and implement a programmable emotional robot called RobotKid. The robot will contain elements such as those in LEGO Mindstorm and extend with elements derived from structuralism of emotion, drama, and literature. At the same time, RobotKid can interact with environment, puppets, and human. The goal is to let kid can design RobotKid to perform in story telling, drama performance, and speech competition. The situation is the same as parents teach their kid to perform in story telling and drama. However, the kids play the role as parents or teachers and RobotKid play as kids』 kid. Robot can also perform as teacher partner, and mediators of collaborative learning. This project contains the following elements required for using RobotKid in learning: (1) develop learning model and theory of using RobotKid, (2) design learning materials for English, robot programming, and problem solving, (3) evaluation of learning effects [inclusing evaluation from psychology and physiology point of view], (4) design and implement an emotional robot with capabilities of social interaction and emotion interaction.We also consider the deployment of our research outcome in schools. Therefore, we have demonstration, promotion, and deployment phases. The training program for teachers is designed for this purpose. 研究期間：9608 ~ 9707 |
