We present an approach for motion primitive learning and refinement for a humanoid robot. The proposed teaching method starts with observational learning and applies iterative kinesthetic motion refinement. Observational learning is realized by a marker control approach. Kinesthetic teaching is supported by introducing the motion refinement tube in order to avoid to disturb other joints acciden...

This paper reports the design, development and evaluation of a technological framework for learning applications, named AmI Playfield, aimed at creating challenging learning conditions through play and entertainment. AmI Playfield is an educative Ambient Intelligent (AmI) environment which emphasizes the use of kinesthetic and collaborative technology in a natural playful learning context and e...

Although each learner is provided at birth with a certain learning style specific to any of the three main ones, (Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic). The ideal learning style remains to be a part or a mixture of all the three or any two of the three kinds. Some learners possess strong inclination, while others have a less effective mixture of two or the three common favored styles. The existing ...

Learning styles may be classified according to the sensory modality that one most prefers to use when internalizing information. The four major sensory modalities are visual, aural or auditory, read/write, and kinesthetic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between preferred learning style, gender, and course scores in an undergraduate physiology class. Students from ...

Transfer from perception to action is well documented, for instance in the form of observational learning. Transfer from action to perception, on the other hand, has not been researched. Such action-perception transfer (APT) is compatible with several learning theories and has been predicted within the framework of common coding of perceptual and motor events (Prinz, 1992, 1997). Our first expe...

In everyday life, spatial navigation involving locomotion provides congruent visual, vestibular, and kinesthetic information that need to be integrated. Yet, previous studies on human brain activity during navigation focus on stationary setups, neglecting vestibular and kinesthetic feedback. The aim of our work is to uncover the influence of those sensory modalities on cortical processing. We d...

Entertaining the bodily senses by means of deliberate stimulation proprioceptive, kinesthetic, and/or vestibular senses/systems has long been focus many (mechanical) rides found on fairground and at theme park. Although history kinaesthetic thrills proprioceptive pleasures stretches back to turn 20th Century, and, despite growing interest in digital (e.g. virtual reality, Metaverse, etc.), litt...
