Order This Book | Authors | Contents | Related Titles

Within the sphere of children's learning and play, the concept of robot and the application of actual robots are undergoing a dramatic expansion. Here the term "robot" refers to a growing range of interactive devices-including toys, pets, assistants to the disabled, and overtly educational tools-which are being used in ways that are expected to have profound and beneficial effects on how our children develop and grow.

Robots for Kids: Exploring New Technologies for Learning opens with contributions from leading designers and researchers, each offering a unique perspective into the challenge of developing robots specifically for children. The second part is devoted to the stories of educators who work with children using these devices, exploring new applications and mapping their impact. Throughout the book, essays by children are included that discuss their first-hand experiences and ideas about robots. This is an engaging, entertaining, and insightful book for a broad audience, including HCI, AI, and robotics researchers in business and academia, new media and consumer product developers, robotics hobbyists, toy designers, teachers, and education researchers.

Features

  • contributions by leaders in the fields of human-computer interaction and robotics
  • product development stories told by leading designers and researchers in organizations such as Microsoft, MIT Media Lab, Disney, and Sony
  • product application stories told by educators who are making robots a central part of kids' learning experiences, both in and out of the classroom
  • essays by kids-some, users of robotic technology, and others, designers in their own right

Authors:

Allison Druin is assistant professor at the University of Maryland, both in the Institute for Advanced Computer Studies and the College of Education in the Department of Human Development. Her recent work has focused on developing-with children as her design partners-new robotic storytelling technologies. Druin is the editor of The Design of Children's Technology and coauthor of Designing Multimedia Environments for Children (John Wiley & Sons, 1996).

James Hendler is program manager at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and professor at the University of Maryland, where he heads the Autonomous Mobile Robotics Laboratory and the Advanced Information Technology Laboratory. Hendler is the author of a book, Integrating Marker-Passing and Problem Solving (Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 1988), and more than 100 technical papers in AI, robotics, intelligent agents, and high-performance computing.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在兒童學習和遊戲的領域中,機器人的概念和實際應用正在經歷著劇烈的擴展。在這裡,「機器人」一詞指的是一系列互動設備,包括玩具、寵物、協助殘障人士的助手和明確的教育工具,這些設備的使用方式預計對兒童的發展和成長產生深遠和有益的影響。

《Robots for Kids: Exploring New Technologies for Learning》首先由領先的設計師和研究人員提供了獨特的觀點,探討專門為兒童開發機器人的挑戰。第二部分專門介紹了與兒童一起使用這些設備的教育工作者的故事,探索新的應用和其影響。整本書中還包括兒童的文章,討論他們的第一手經驗和對機器人的想法。這是一本引人入勝、娛樂性和富有洞察力的書籍,適合廣大讀者,包括人機交互、人工智能和機器人研究人員、商業和學術界的新媒體和消費品開發者、機器人愛好者、玩具設計師、教師和教育研究人員。

特點:
- 由人機交互和機器人領域的領先專家貢獻
- 由微軟、麻省理工學院媒體實驗室、迪士尼和索尼等組織的領先設計師和研究人員講述的產品開發故事
- 由教育工作者講述的應用故事,他們將機器人作為兒童學習體驗的核心,無論是在課堂內還是課堂外
- 兒童的文章,其中一些是機器人技術的使用者,另一些則是他們自己的設計師

作者:
- Allison Druin 是馬里蘭大學的助理教授,既是高級計算機研究所的成員,也是人類發展學系教育學院的成員。她最近的工作集中在與兒童合作作為設計夥伴開發新的機器人故事技術。Druin 是《The Design of Children's Technology》的編輯,也是《Designing Multimedia Environments for Children》(約翰威利和兒子,1996年)的合著者。
- James Hendler 是國防高級研究計劃局的計劃經理,也是馬里蘭大學的教授,他負責自主移動機器人實驗室和先進信息技術實驗室。Hendler 是一本書《Integrating Marker-Passing and Problem Solving》(勞倫斯厄爾鮑姆合夥人,1988年)的作者,以及在人工智能、機器人、智能代理和高性能計算方面發表的100多篇技術論文。
