Robots will change our life dramatically. People are interested to know more about Robotics and AI. Teaching has to regard these developments. While learning by doing has great advantages, experimenting with real robots is limited by the available resources: Complex hardware is costly, and it needs time and experience for setup and maintenance. Simulated robots can be used as alternative.
GORGE is the name of a research tool developed for investigations into playful development of technology competence. As a research tool, it has been employed several times in varying settings and application scenarios always quite successfully. Set up as a browser game, GORGE is now invading private homes. Playing GORGE may result in a gain of technology competence provided that particular aspects...
It is well known by the educational community that active learning has a greater impact on the effectiveness of the learning process than other methods. It has long been recognized that the most effective learning techniques involve direct, purposeful learning experiences, such as hands-on or field experiences. In particular, computer-controlled models have been a useful aid in teaching programming,...
Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques may be applied to a variety of real-world problems. At Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, CS 455: Artificial Intelligence was offered during the Spring 2008 semester in which students from all disciplines were invited to attend. Robot kits are incorporated into the course as a pedagogical tool to motivate and encourage learning by applying theoretically abstract...
Emotions are a ubiquitous component of motivation and learning; therefore it is desirable for intelligent tutors the incorporation of affective models. We developed an affective behavior model for intelligent tutoring systems with base on intuition, literature and teachers' expertise. The model selects a tutorial action based on the knowledge and affective state of the student. We conducted a study...
In this paper we present the script-based approach of computer-guided dialog generation on a given topic for English students within the project of CSIEC (computer simulation in educational communication), an interactive Web-based human-computer dialog system using natural language for English instruction. To accomplish the drill or exam function in user-robot communication in natural language on...
A method of learning image bases from natural images is proposed in this paper. Natural image is decomposed into structure mode and non-structure mode by using Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) technique. The structure mode is made up of the first two Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF) that represent the structure information of image. The other IMFs and residual image compose the non-structure mode...
