Presentation of the two software solutions developed by ERM Robotique to facilitate the use of NAO with children for primary education and autism. 'My Friend NAO' comprises a set of educational activities designed for NAO and tablets. 'Blockly for NAO' is the solution for programming NAO using the popular Blockly blocks.

Rob'Autism project was initiated in 2014. Every year since then, six teenagers have been supported within this program to improve their social skills. The program consists of 21 sessions, alternating between 10 non-robot sessions and 10 robot programming sessions during which they design a play in which the main actor is a robot. The play is presented to a larger audience during the 21st session. Rob'Autism is a systematic approach that can be identically reproduced by any institution. One of its original features is the use of the robot as a communication prosthesis for ASD participants. They program the robot to speak or perform actions on their behalf in the outside world, while they remain safely protected within the rigid enclosure of the machine

Administrators and teachers from schools in Malmö share their work, students' experiences, ideas, challenges and objectives by working with NAO and students aged 6 to 16 years old.

Can you imagine classrooms where AI powered robots are helping students learning or supporting children learn at home? Partner/Social Robots are in development to support/collaborate with humans. Some of those robots, including Pepper and NAO, are already available for humans to interact with. This presentation focuses on students’ learning experience while programming and learning with Pepper and what and how students learn as well as how teachers can support their learning.

 The RoboCup@Home Education initiative was started with a simple intention to facilitate technically complex service robot development for novice teams and even young schoolchildren. The service robot development involves many practical AI applications solving real world problems in various domains including human robot interaction, navigation and mapping in dynamic environments, computer vision, object recognition and manipulation . Under the education initiative, a novel AI learning approach was formulated after several cycles of the organization of workshop-based service robot challenge with team centered competition design. Not only a learning framework was created, but the effort has also been developed into a more formal education system, together with compatible hardware, software and courseware, with the aim to provide practical AI education for nontechnical beginners and young schoolchildren.

Explore the ELIAS app, a language learning tool designed to improve speaking skills and tailored to be fully compatible with NAO. Discover its features and practical applications in real classrooms. Educators will share their firsthand experiences, which, combined with research findings, highlight how ELIAS boosts motivation, enriches classroom engagement, and fosters a relaxed, attentive learning environment for students.

In Lithuania, NAO is teaching first-year schoolchildren road traffic rules. Since children at such an early age cannot fully understand and communicate in foreign languages, such as English, it is vital for the robot to be able to interact fully in the local language. The robot NAO also influences children to be more attentive and focused when listening to the lesson and questions provided by the NAO robot. Another unique advantage of using a NAO robot is that, since the children are extremely motivated to interact with it, the robot encourages them to speak their natural language with correct pronunciation, tone, and timing. In the meantime, the teachers only need to support the robot, without the need to speak.

The need for new rehabilitation approaches arises from patients' lack of commitment to treatment, which negatively affects their quality of life. Inrobics Rehab is the first physical, cognitive, and social stimulation system based on social robotics and artificial intelligence for patients with functional and neurological diversity. It is a great ally for healthcare professionals and the best companion for patients, as it improves efficiency and makes therapies more enjoyable and fun.
