The Development of Robot-based Storytelling Platform for Designing STEAM Learning Systems

Abstract

Science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education has attracted some attention in recent years. The use of robots and physical objects to improve learners' STEAM knowledge acquisition is well established. However, platforms for developing robot-based narrative applications were rare. A suitable designed scenario of humanrobot interaction (HRI) in storytelling may foster learners' engagement in learning activities. The design of HRI is crucial for learners to physically interact with storytelling robots. The above facts in a simple form by saying that the development of robotbased storytelling has not only affected learners' learning outcomes but cultivated their narrative skills. Therefore, the proposed study developed a Robot-based Storytelling Platform (RSP) to help creators to design their robot-based storytelling systems for particular applications.
