Musicbot: Edutainment with a reconfigurable robotic system

Abstract

Approaching a new study subject could be a problem to everyone, especially children. In particular, children might lose the interest when learning music due to their lacking fundamental knowledge. Using tangible programming on modular robotics may be an effective way for teaching and learning music. In this paper, we present an education and entertainment design, so-called learning through playing, through a real-world musical application using modular robotics.
