Preliminary report on Interactive Robotics’ education programs and learning activities

This preliminary report will focus on: - Identification of specific training needs. Identify, for different education levels (students aged from 4 to 17), which are the specific training needs and the educational tools that are more suitable for each level, so to build a shared and highly accessible education platform. Investigate on analogies and differences between different countries and institutions in terms of course length, load, and contents. The identified analogies will result in plan exchange programs. Investigation on the learning needs specific for people that have to interact with robots but not necessarily have a suitable technical background and will identify the tools that are more suitable for a rapid and focused application. A network covering past, current and future efforts will be realized with the focus of enabling a communication channel to discuss thematic approaches, relevance and impact of each event. - Intermediate conclusions on organization of workshops, network building, training and exchange programs.
