Vision capabilities for a humanoid robot tutoring biology

摘要

Robots are expected to be the future solution in various fields. One of these fields is education. Teachers, students and robots have to work together to make this assumption true. For this, robots must have the adequate capabilities that can help them succeed. Vision of the robot is an essential tool that the robot uses to perform several tasks. Hence, it has to be taken into consideration, the steps and the expectations for this robot vision system to surpass at least the very basic skills. Detection, recognition, and localization are the basic skills that we are implementing in our experiment. To test our system we used the robot as a tutor in biology teaching and evaluating approach.
