Abstract
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare interactions of children aged between 3 and 6 years, with a NAO robot or an adult partner, in various body-focused tasks: comprehension and recognition of body parts labels, imitation of movements, and recognition of emotions in the postures of the agent. For each task, performances were appreciated through scores levels. We found no effect of the demonstrator type on our results: children of different ages responded similarly to the the human or the robot demonstrator. We found an effect of age, with the olderchildren having higher scores for the comprehension of body parts labels on the demonstrator’s body, the imitation of body parts sequences and the identification of emotional key postures. Results are discussed in light of the implications of the use of social robots such as the NAO one, in interactive and learning situations with typical children.
