Abstract

    The currently designed novel educational scenarios with the walking robot BigFoot from a cyberphysical system perspective to pedagogical rehabilitation is described in the paper. The sensor system of the robot is presented, which is being developed further in order to adequately apply it to two newly formulated educational scenarios. The results of a pilot study are discussed.
