Organizer: EU Horizon 2020 – MSCA-RIZE CyberSPEED and Kyutech

Abstract

The aim of the current EU Horizon 2020 – MSCA RISE project CybSPEED is to advance a novel framework for analysis, modelling, synthesis and implementation of Cyber-Physical Systems for pedagogical rehabilitation in special education, based on a combination of the best of experience and achievements of the partners in the domains of brain-aware robotics, cognitive biometrics, computational intelligence and reasoning in humanoid and non-humanoid robots for education.

The CybSPEED project emphasizes the intrinsic-motivational approach to learning by designing human-robot situations (games, pedagogical cases, artistic performances) and advanced interfaces (brain-computer, eye-gaze tracking and virtual reality) where children and students interact with the novel technology to enhance the underlying self-compensation and complementarity of brain encoding during learning. The project aspires to establish as well as to sustain an innovation network across the EU, Japan (Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech) as the official partner), Chile and Morocco that will pursue top-level research on three levels – 1) analysis of cognitive biometrics signals, 2) modeling of the learner-robot interaction and 3) development of novel instruments toward an optimal design of “Cyber-Physical Systems for improved Pedagogical rEhabilitation in EDucation.”
