  • Abstract
    This paper is about the role of advanced educational tools in fundraising and presents a design solution meant to assess by comparative evaluation the human-machine and human-computer interactions in the case of the fundraising Robo-eLC. The software core of the gynoid robot and its elearning system have been re-modulated based on feedbacks from earlier prototype and integrated into a multimedia kiosk. An avatar is integrated in the new user-interface system to partially substitute the missing gynoid robot and support the userspsila elearning processes. The ongoing testspsila results of the new software show specific efficiencies and deficiencies of the Robo-eLC as fundraising educational tool. The described approach constitutes a viable verification method for the functionality design of the anthropomorphic robots meant for elearning and fundraising activities.
