Project H.E.A.R.T. - The Robotikum

Every week since mid-March 2018, school classes from Marburg have been given the opportunity to spend three days each with the robots of the model NAO learning about Artificial Intelligence "close up" robots in Marburg's Adolf-Reichwein-Schule. The team of Professor Jürgen Handke from the Philipps University, who has received numerous awards for digital teaching innovation, offers a workshop, the "Robotikum", in which dialogues, movements, image acquisition and emotions can be developed and tested with robots. The goal is not only to get to know and understand the robots, but also to improve one's own algorithmic thinking, which has special significance in today's digital world.

Procedure

And this is how the Robotikum should take place:

 Day 1 - Robots hear and speak

•     organizational matters
•     The authoring software "Choregraphe"
•     An entry-level task
•     Simple speech output tasks (English / German)
•     Simple and complex dialogues
•     Additional sounds in the 2nd audio channel

     
Day 2 - Robots move

•     The timeline
•     Body animations about the timeline
•     Couple dialogues with self-defined animations
•     Easy movement in all directions
•     Definition of a final project

     
Day 3 - Robots see and feel

•     Basics of object recognition (cameras, sensors)
•     Couple animations with sensors
•     Face, age and emotion recognition
•     Creation of an own project
•     Project presentation

 Finalisation (possibly day 4)

•     Keynote by the instructors

              Artificial intelligence - Where is the path going?

•     A final task
•     Project presentation
