Abstract

    A pilot study of a training scenario to determine the reaction of mature people with visual impairment when interacting with a humanoid robot NAO was conducted. The main goal of the scenario is for visually impaired people to learn about the robot itself from the robot, when it was created, what it is, what it is made of, what it is equipped with, to get to know and feel by touch the parts of its body and some of its control options. The main observations are discussed in the paper, relevant to transferring the scenario to inclusive education.
