In this document we report on the work in work package 2 that relates to context, engagement, and explanation of robot actions. Context and engagement directly relate to this deliverable, explanation of robot action relates to work needed for task 2.1 to be able to implement multi-user explanation of the actions proposed by the system. We have focused on several fundamental issues in this year. First, can children perceive differences in robot educational style? This is important for engagement because human teachers use different styles and the ability to adapt educational style to an individual increases educational efficiency and effectiveness. Second, we have evaluated (with children and healthcare professionals) the PAL Control tool developed last year. PAL Control is our health care professional authoring tool. Again this is important for engagement and also for contextualized goal setting. Being able to set learning goals appropriately for children contributes to focusing on an achievable set of goals and contributes to structuring the learning process. Goal setting has been integrated with the quiz module of the PAL system. This enables the system to propose educational quizzes dependent on the context as defined by the learning goals. Third, we have shown in an experiment at a diabetes autumn camp that children and adults prefer robot action explanations differently. This is important fundamental knowledge enabling us (in the following years) to define how the agent should explain its strategy to the children, parents, and healthcare professionals. |
