Researchers Theme Outline
The goal of this project is to connect classrooms across the world through the teleoperation of robots. Children will be able to interact with their remote peers in real-time by teleoperating a humanoid robot set up in the remote classroom. The basic dialogue will be translated automatically, making the overseas communication easier. Furthermore, the multimodal experience of children using the service can be recorded and play it back later again.
