This paper examines the main robot programming strategies and how they are used in the
educational context. We analyze the advantages and drawbacks of the most common …

JESSIE is a robotic system that enables novice programmers to program social robots by
expressing high-level specifications. We employ control synthesis with a tangible front-end …

This paper introduces Code3, a system for user-friendly, rapid programming of mobile
manipulator robots. The system is designed to let non-roboticists and roboticists alike …

Programming is known for its complexity and difficulty. It is believed to be hard to teach and
to learn and many pupils and students in programming courses have difficulties to master all …

This paper provides a framework for recording, analyzing and modeling of 3 dimensional
emotional movements for embodied game applications. To foster embodied interaction, we …

This paper presents a parallel real time framework for emotions and mental states extraction
and recognition from video fragments of human movements. In the experimental setup …

This paper proposes an architecture that makes programming of robot behavior of an
arbitrary complexity possible for end-users and shows the technical solutions in a way that is …

Successful results have been booked with using robotics in therapy interventions for autism
spectrum disorders (ASD). However, to make the best use of robots, the behavior of the …

Whilst robots are increasingly being deployed as social agents, it is still difficult to program
them to interact socially. To create usable tools for programming these robots, tool …
