ABSTRACT
In this paper, a system called GENTORO that supports children's storytelling activities is proposed. By using GENTORO, children can make a robot play their story in the real world augmented with mobile projected graphical images. Preliminary user studies have been conducted in collaboration with elementary school children and university students, in order to investigate the acceptance level of GENTORO and clarify its design requirements, respectively. The development of GENTORO is in progress. The future plans of the GENTORO project are discussed.

Therapeutic play with a storytelling robot
CHI EA '01: CHI '01 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe are developing a prototype storytelling robot for use with children in rehabilitation. Children can remotely control a furry robot by using a variety of body sensors adapted to their disability or rehabilitation goal. We believe this robot can ...
