Storytelling with a Robot

For my Master Thesis I designed a system for interactive storytelling for elementary school children. The research followed a user-centred design approach including three user studies. Throughout the research I created and improved a prototype combining a little robot, a tablet application, a play mat, object (blocks) and figures. The robot functioned as the main character in the children’s stories. During the final study I researched the influence of emotional behaviour of the robot on children’s storytelling.
