Robots in Education is an accessible introduction to the use of
robotics in formal learning, encompassing pedagogical and
psychological theories as well as implementation in curricula.
Today, a variety of communities across education are increasingly
using robots as general classroom tutors, tools in STEM projects,
and subjects of study. This volume explores how the unique physical
and social-interactive capabilities of educational robots can
generate bonds with students while freeing instructors to focus on
their individualized approaches to teaching and learning. Authored
by a uniquely interdisciplinary team of scholars, the book covers
the basics of robotics and their supporting technologies; attitudes
toward and ethical implications of robots in learning; research
methods relevant to extending our knowledge of the field; and more.

This book offers the first comprehensive yet critical overview of
methods used to evaluate interaction between humans and social
robots. It reviews commonly used evaluation methods, and shows that
they are not always suitable for this purpose. Using representative
case studies, the book identifies good and bad practices for
evaluating human-robot interactions and proposes new standardized
processes as well as recommendations, carefully developed on the
basis of intensive discussions between specialists in various
HRI-related disciplines, e.g. psychology, ethology, ergonomics,
sociology, ethnography, robotics, and computer science. The book is
the result of a close, long-standing collaboration between the
editors and the invited contributors, including, but not limited
to, their inspiring discussions at the workshop on Evaluation
Methods Standardization for Human-Robot Interaction (EMSHRI), which
have been organized yearly since 2015. By highlighting and weighing
good and bad practices in evaluation design for HRI, the book will
stimulate the scientific community to search for better solutions,
take advantages of interdisciplinary collaborations, and encourage
the development of new standards to accommodate the growing
presence of robots in the day-to-day and social lives of human
beings.
