Bringing letters to life: handwriting with haptic-enabled tangible robots

Pierre Dillenbourg, Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal, Ayberk Özgür, Arzu Güneysu Özgür, Khalil Mrini, Elmira Yadollahi

In this paper, we present a robotic approach to improve the teaching of handwriting using the tangible, haptic-enabled and classroom-friendly Cellulo robots. Our efforts presented here are in line with the philosophy of the Cellulo platform: we aim to crea ...
