dc.description.abstract | In this paper we want to discuss a study of the collaborative robot system and its effect of the user’s motivation to continue use robot, so we build a collaborative robot system combine with PDA and lego robot, through server provide a collaborative platform and the wireless interface on the PDA let user can exchange messages and interact with other users through network. On the client, to be a learning partner, provide user an interface to interact with own robot and other user’s robot and provide a Text-to-Speech function to remind user to receive and read messages. Besides system also provide remote control mode, let user can control his/her robot through PDA to move and interact or doing collaborative games with other user’s robot, on the server we provide a learning discussion board to be a message exchange platform, and an MSN agent to be a control center of push message, push Email and interaction messages. On the other hand, we design two type activities. The first, robot be a learning partner, user post messages through the discussion board on the server, and presentation in the class, after presentation other user give comments and suggestions through reply function, and robot to be a learning partner, interact with user and remind user to read messages; Second, robot be a playmate, user can control his/her robot through PDA to interact or doing collaborative games with other user’s robot.
According to questionnaire, user think they will continue use the robot system. By the quantity of use, it shows that, the future of the robot besides multi usages, if there can be a collaborative platform let user can interact with his/her own robot or other user’s robot will significant increase user’s motivation to use robot.
