Abstract

According to the UNESCO, the sensitive periods in early brain development occur during the first seven years of children lives. The most relevant areas related to childhood development are the numbers, vision, emotional control, peer social skills, hearing, habitual ways of responding, symbols, and language. For this important reason, in this paper, we present an educational environment aimed at providing a set of tools to contribute to early stimulation of children assisting to low and middle-income schools. Our system relies on mobile apps and stuffed toy robots able to interact with children and other robots to teach several concepts related to early development in both, individual intervention sessions, and group sessions. This tool incorporates a rule-based reasoning expert system to select intervention strategies better. To validate our proposal, we worked with 47 children and a team of experts in the early education area.

一个基于毛绒玩具机器人、移动应用程序和专家系统的教育环境，为儿童的早期发展提供支持

据联合国教科文组织称，大脑早期发育的敏感时期出现在儿童生命的头7年。与儿童发展最相关的领域是数字、视觉、情绪控制、同伴社交技能、听力、习惯性反应方式、符号和语言。由于这个重要的原因，在本文中，我们提出了一个教育环境，旨在提供一套工具，以帮助低收入和中等收入学校的儿童早期刺激。我们的系统依赖于能够与儿童和其他机器人互动的移动应用程序和填充玩具机器人，在个人干预会议和小组会议中教授与早期发展相关的几个概念。该工具结合了基于规则的推理专家系统，以更好地选择干预策略。为了验证我们的建议，我们与47个孩子和一个早期教育领域的专家团队合作。
