Child-Robot Interactions Using Educational Robots: An Ethical and Inclusive Perspective.

The Qui-Bot HO project involves developing four educational sustainable robots and their associated software. Robots are equipped with HRI features such as voice recognition and color sensing, and they possess a humanoid appearance. The project highlights the social and ethical aspects of robotics applied to chemistry and industry 4.

Sparking the Interest of Girls in Computer Science via Chemical Experimentation and Robotics: The Qui-Bot HO Case Study.

We report a new learning approach in science and technology through the Qui-Bot HO project: a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary project developed with the main objective of inclusively increasing interest in computer science engineering among children and young people, breaking stereotypes and invisible social and gender barriers. The project highlights the social aspect of robotics applied to chemistry, at early ages. We successfully tested the project activities on girls between 3 to 13 years old.
