Nao as an Authority in the Classroom: Can Nao Help the Teacher to Keep an Acceptable Noise Level?

Published: 02 March 2015 Publication History

Abstract

We are researching if Nao could work as an authority figure in the classroom, and if it could help the teacher keep the sound volume at an acceptable level. It is also researched if children will perceive the robot differently if they have worked with the robot before, and if this has an influence on the Nao as an authority figure. Furthermore we will try to see if there is a connection between the pupils' perception of Nao as living/not-living and their will to accept it as an authority figure. This is studied through a two-part experiment with a 5th grade class, where one half of the pupils has worked with the robot prior to it acting as an assistant to the teacher in a normal class.
