Educational vocabulary for Pepper and NAO classroom robots
discovery
⌄
The Scenario
Pepper and NAO are deployed in schools, hospitals, and retail environments across 70+ countries. A NAO robot in a Tokyo elementary school teaches English vocabulary to Japanese students. It fetches “discovery” with the Japanese translation, delivers an age-appropriate lesson using the explorer teaching style, plays the pronunciation audio, and asks quiz questions. The same lesson content serves Pepper in a Parisian hospital teaching French medical vocabulary to international staff.
