Abstract

Nowadays, Robot-Assisted Language Learning has been expanded as tutors with a considerable increase in the number of publications. However, research that has empirically documented the relationship between learners’ academic emotions and robotics is scant. Therefore, the aim of this study attempts to build a robot system that can respond to primary school students’ emotions and detect their emotions.
This study was designed as an emotional detection system and adopted Zenbo-lab environment. The students were detected while they were interacting with a robot.
The expected results are as follows:
a. Robot-Assisted Language Learning in this study can significantly predict learner’s positive emotions.
b. Robot-Assisted Language Learning in this study can significantly predict learner’s negative emotions.
