Learning of Tomorrow [Announcement] “Generative AI Education Using the Humanoid Robot ‘Pepper’—Bringing Cutting-Edge Learning to Children Through Generative AI” For the online symposium on Wednesday, August 28, we are pleased to welcome Mr. Tetsuma Nagasaki from the Education Business Promotion Office at SoftBank Robotics Corp.
Initiatives in the field of education utilizing the humanoid robot "Pepper" are gaining momentum.
By using “Pepper” to tackle real-world social issues in their local communities, students can develop their curiosity and critical thinking skills, while also fostering a desire to contribute to society through connections with their communities. Furthermore, by working with peers to solve these challenges, students can cultivate a collaborative spirit, communication skills, and decision-making abilities.
Furthermore, with the addition of ChatGPT functionality, users can leverage generative AI to bring their own ideas to life and create features that benefit daily life and society, further expanding the possibilities for identifying social issues and for generating ideas in the areas of programming education and implementation.
At this symposium, Mr. Nagasaki, who has been promoting programming education and inquiry-based learning using “Pepper,” will speak about generative AI education utilizing “Pepper.” We hope you will join us.
