A Survey on Robot Teaching: Categorization and Brief Review

Abstract

In this paper, a review of current work within in the field of robot teaching has been presented. Researchers in the robot teaching domain suffer from the lack of an establishedstructure in which to organize appropriate teaching systems. We have contributed such a structure, througha categorization of robot teaching technologies. We first segmentthe robot teaching technologies according to required programmingskill, then divided into two types according to theteaching layer. As a result we identified several openissues that need to be addressed to design a robot teachingsystem. The robot teaching technology has been growing significantly,from text-based programming systems to teaching bydemonstration and more intelligent systems that provideconsiderable support to the human teacher. Clearly, the trendin robot teaching technologiesis the growing intelligence toreduce the burden of human teacher, both for manual andautomatic teaching method.
