Section: Dissemination

Popularization

  • IniRobot: Development, evaluation and dissemination of the IniRobot program for initiating young kids (primary schools) to computer science and robotics. This has been used and deployed in several major towns in France, including Lille, Talence and Lormont. Several days of formation for teachers have been organized to foster dissemination. The kit is Creative Commons, and available on the dedicated web site created: https://dm1r.inria.fr/c/kits-pedagogiques/inirobot

  • PY Oudeyer gave a TedX talk in Cannes, explaining open-source developmental robotics, https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-ts=1421828030&x-yt-cl=84411374&v=AP8i435ztwE

  • PY Oudeyer gave several interviews in the general press (e.g. Le Monde, Les Echos, Sciences et Avenir) to explain societal issues of robotics, http://www.pyoudeyer.com/press/

  • Fabien Benureau supervised two students in 3rd year of the Cognitive Science major at the University of Bordeaux on their TER project. The project used Poppy, exploring how the attitude towards robots influences how humans recognise the emotion they try to express. Poppy having no facial expression — or face — yet, the students expressed the five expressions they selected (anger, surprise, joy, sadness, disgust) with body movements alone. They videotaped the sequences of movements (videos are available here http://python.sm.u-bordeaux2.fr/ter/2014/sc/desprez-zerdoumi/?page_id=289 ) and created an experiment asking volunteers to guess which emotion was displayed. The form also included the Negative Attitude towards Robots Scale (NARS), to investigate the possible correlation between fear of robot and the ability to identify their emotional attitude. The results showed no correlation between the two, although it was admitted that the experiment would have to be improved and ran again before any conclusion could be made.
