• Resumen

  • Blue, a fluffy robot with cartoon eyes, is telling a little girl a story about a snowman. The tale plays out in pictures on a tablet that sits between the preschooler and Blue's soft plastic feet. Blue's eyes look down at the characters as it describes them, then up at the child to check that she's paying attention. The idea is to see how well children learn from robots--it is one of a handful of similar experiments being run by graduate student Jacqueline Kory. Kory and colleagues are testing children to see how well they remember new words learned from robots overtime.
