Personalizing HRI in Musical Instrument Practicing: The Influence of Robot Roles (Evaluative Nonevaluative) on the Child's Motivation for Children in Different Learning Stages.

Learning to play a musical instrument involves skill learning and requires long-term practicing to reach expert levels. Research has already proven that the assistance of a robot can improve children's motivation and performance during practice. In an earlier study, we showed that the specific role (evaluative role versus nonevaluative role) the robot plays can determine children's motivation and performance.
