A Humanoid Robot as a Teaching Assistant for Primary Education

In this paper, we propose an IDML tools which can provide teachers a humanoid robot to help them for engaging teaching activities in a classroom. Teachers can use this humanoid robot as a teaching assistant for providing an interactive learning experience to students. In order to evaluate the teaching efficacy of humanoid robot, we conducted a trial experiment in the primary education. Formative evaluations of the experiments not only proved that the humanoid robot can promote students´ learning interest, but also found that humanoid robots have potential benefits for primary education and the possibility of robot-aided education in the classroom.
