What is it about?
Teachable robots can be used to support student learning, and tailoring the robot's behaviours - such as their speech, gestures, or expressions - to individual users can further improve the experience and user outcomes. This study investigates whether an algorithm which personalises a teachable robot's dialog responses can improve task engagement, and is conducted in both Australia and Japan to compare the effect across two diverse cultures.
