This addresses storytelling engagement for young children, but appears incremental as it applies existing reinforcement learning methods to a new robotic application.
The authors tackled the problem of maintaining children's attention during storytelling by developing Robofriend, a robotic teddy bear that adapts its behavior using reinforcement learning, but no concrete results or numbers are provided.
In this paper we describe Robofriend, a robotic teddy bear for telling stories to young children. Robofriend adapts its behavior to keep the childrens' attention using reinforcement learning.
