- Improving the attention span of elementary school children for physical education through an NAO robotics platform in developed countries(Springer Nature, 2022-03-17) Ponce Cruz, Pedro; Molina Gutiérrez, Arturo; Baltazar Reyes, Germán Eduardo; Mazon Parra, Nancy; https://ror.org/03ayjn504Education today faces a powerful enemy: the lack of interest from students, who, even if attending class, find themselves distracted. This enemy has been in our schools for a long time, but it has never been as strong as it is now. Technology has made it strong; phone-bearing children have become its ally. This investigation intends to return technology to our side as educators by proposing the use of an assistive robot, proving that it attracts the attention of students and motivates them to enjoy Physical Education (PE) class, where children learn how to live a healthy life, avoiding diseases and conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and heart problems. To prove this, we measured the attention levels and motivation of the students in two primary school classes, one, a traditional class, and the other, a robot-assisted class. The data was analyzed from both engineering and psychological perspectives. This study concludes that the attention span of children improves, and their motivation increases as a result of using an NAO robot. Consequently, a robot-assisted PE class can decrease diabetes, obesity, and strengthen heart functions when the children learn how to live a healthy life effectively.
- Physical therapy using robotics:A project-based learning experience for undergraduate students(Australasian Journal of Educational Technology (AJET), 2021-12-06) López Caudana, Edgar Omar; López Orozco, Christian Fernando; Mendoza Bárbara, César Alfonso; Baltazar Reyes, German Eduardo; Ponce Cruz, Pedro; Chong Quero, Jesús Enrique; https://ror.org/03ayjn504The dynamic society we live in requires constant adaptation and innovation on every aspect of our daily lives, allowing us to improve the necessities of different people by doing it. For this study, we used a new approach with project-based learning to go beyond the typical environment in higher education and bring solutions to real-life scenarios. The project was developed with undergraduate engineering students in collaboration with a rehabilitation institute in Mexico City to design a physical therapy routine using the NAO robot. It allowed interaction between young patients in real time and fostered empathy while developing a final usable product. The study measured the usability of the robotic platform during the rehabilitation sessions and the reproducibility of the project through Cronbach's alpha evaluation. The usability results show a higher interest in the project from both the patients and the medical staff involved while constructing the material needed to develop a product that matches the standards given by the rehabilitation institute.
- Role assignment analysis of an assistive robotic platform in a high school mathematics class, through a gamification and usability evaluation(Springer, 2020-09-18) Baltazar Reyes, Germán Eduardo; López Caudana, Edgar Omar; Ponce Cruz, Pedro; Mazon Parra, Nancy; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/01tmp8f25This project implements an assistive robotic platform in a mathematics high school class to support the professor’s teaching process while analyzing its performance by using a gamification approach and the Octalysis framework. The results obtained from this study evaluated both the platform usability and the general class perception from the students and the professors involved in the experimentation. This paper demonstrates that the implementation of a robotic platform as a supportive tool for the professor improves the class’ dynamism and the cooperative behavior of the students, by following the Octalysis approach. Finally, the results helped to determine a better role assignment for future cases where the professor implements a robotic platform during class, leaving the theoretical explanations and class control to the professor, and giving the robot the role of enhancing the activities and review exercises.
