Students handwriting analysis project to help tem be ready for written exams
In this article, we investigate the role of interactive haptic-enabled tangible robots in supporting the learning of cursive letter writing for children with attention and visuomotor coordination issues. We focus on the two principal aspects of …
A social robot to help the transition from Cyrillic to Latin alphabet in Kazakhstan
Context Handwriting is one of the most important motor skill we learn as human. Children with handwriting difficulties can find their academic impacted and often succeed less at school. It is even more true for people having to learn different handwriting scripts (i.e. latin, chinese, arabic)
In this project we propose to explore new methods to assess and train people’s handwriting in a multiscript handwriting application. The project will aim to develop a new engaging handwriting analysis tool and integrate the analysis in agamified application. The backend of the application will be performing the analsysi of handwirting through a library taking into account various features of the handwriting logs (i.e. pen pressure, tilt, speed).
Goals & Milestones During this project, the student will:
Develop a library able to analyse strokes and handwriting (backend) Develop a JS app able to record handwriting data Integrate gamification into the app to build a learning game Evaluate the implemented application with end-users evaluating both usability and performances (learning outcomes) Topics Handwriting, JS, Algoritms,
Prerequisites Skills: JS, Python, Git. References See Collection https://wafa.johal.org/tags/handwriting/
Context Handwriting is one of the most important motor skill we learn as human. Children with handwriting difficulties can find their academic impacted and often succeed less at school.
In this project we propose to explore new methods for a robot to write using a pen. The project will use the Fetch Robot and aim to evaluate how a robot could learn handwriting trajectories using human demonstrations.
Goals & Milestones During this project, the student will:
Learn about ROS Develop a ROS package that enables to control the Fetch Robot arm given a series of handwriting strokes Explore the use of different methods for the robot to learn letter writing from demonstrations Evaluate the implemented method compare to other state of the art methods Topics ROS, Learning by Demonstration, Robotics, Handwriting
