Abstract

There are several challenges in applying conversational social robots to Technology Enhanced Learning and Serious Gaming. In this paper, we focus in particular on the dialogue management issues in building an empathic robotic tutor that plays a multi-person serious game with students to help them learn and understand the underlying educational concepts.
