TLDR
A new form of an English education system that utilizes a teleoperated robot controlled by a native human teacher in a remote site by providing a unique operation interface that incorporates non-contact vision recognition technologies.Abstract:
In this paper, we introduce a new form of an English education system that utilizes a teleoperated robot controlled by a native human teacher in a remote site. By providing a unique operation interface that incorporates non-contact vision recognition technologies, a native teacher easily and naturally controls the robot from a distance while providing lectures. Due to its effective representation of a human teacher in a robot, students show great interest on the robot and feel comfortable learning English with the teleoperated robot. In a real field pilot study, the participated elementary students have achieved good improvements on standardized tests after the study, which shows the effectiveness of the teleoperated robot system.read more

Should we welcome robot teachers
TL;DR: There are good reasons not to welcome fully fledged robot teachers (s1), and that robot companions (s2 and 3) should be given a cautious welcome at best.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robots in the classroom
TL;DR: This study was one of the first to examine college students communication-related perceptions of robots being used in an instructional capacity, and generally support the MAIN model and the Computers are Social Actors paradigm, but suggest that future work needs to be done in this area.

Breakdowns in children's interactions with a robotic tutor: A longitudinal study
TL;DR: A critical look is taken at the case of a robotic tutor implemented in an elementary school for 3.5 months, where children repeatedly took turns interacting with the robot individually as well as in pairs, to explore what caused breakdowns in children's interactions with the robotic tutor.

Telepresence robot helps children in communicating with teachers who speak a different language
TL;DR: This study reports the advantages of using a child-operated telepresence robot system for the purpose of remote education and investigates the use of a telepresences robot system in classroom environments, and shows the advantages for both children and teachers.

Lucas-Kanade 20 Years On: A Unifying Framework
Simon Baker,Iain Matthews +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a wide variety of extensions have been made to the original formulation of the Lucas-Kanade algorithm and their extensions can be used with the inverse compositional algorithm without any significant loss of efficiency.

Telerobotics, Automation, and Human Supervisory Control
TL;DR: Theory and models of supervisory control of teleoperators for space, undersea, and other applications are discussed in this paper, where the social implications of telerobotics, automation, and super-visory control are discussed.

TL;DR: An interactive tour-guide robot is described, which was successfully exhibited in a Smithsonian museum, and uses learning pervasively at all levels of the software architecture to address issues such as safe navigation in unmodified and dynamic environments, and short-term human-robot interaction.

Fast, reliable head tracking under varying illumination: an approach based on registration of texture-mapped 3D models
TL;DR: In this paper, the head is modeled as a texture mapped cylinder and tracking is formulated as an image registration problem in the cylinder's texture map image, which is solved by regularized weighted least squares error minimization.

Robust full-motion recovery of head by dynamic templates and re-registration techniques
TL;DR: The method successfully stabilized face and eye images allowing for 98% accuracy in automatic blink recognition and was used as part of a facial expression analysis system intended for use with spontaneous facial behavior in which moderate head motion is common.
