Session 9
Instructional
Robotics: Are we ready for it?
Session Description:
The session will be in two parts. The first part will describe
some recent work on the quality of education and its
relationship to “remoteness” (I will explain the reasons for the
quotation marks) of schools. The second part will examine what
“presence” might mean. Some results from experiences in teaching
at a distance over Skype will be presented along with some of
the key technology related issues for such remote teaching.
Finally, based on these experiences, a design will be presented
for an experimental ROV (remotely operated vehicle) device for
distance education and its possible implications discussed. The
term “Instructional Robotics” will be suggested.
Presenter: Dr. Sugata Mitra
