Project description
Robots to promote physical communication during handwriting and music learning
Neuroscientific research has demonstrated the benefits of physical interaction in learning complex sensorimotor tasks. The human central nervous system recognises a partner's motor control and can use it to increase work execution and motor learning. The EU-funded CONBOTS project will investigate a paradigm shift that promotes physical communication mediated by robots to enhance handwriting in children and music learning in beginner musicians. The project will apply innovative robotic technology, wearable sensors and machine learning algorithms to establish a physically interactive robotic platform that will connect humans to support the learning of complex sensorimotor tasks. The results of the project will advance the use of robotics in the education field.
