Development of a question response function to practice research presentations using three Mugbots with an utterance function

Abstract

In terms of research presentations, some presenters cannot put their thoughts together well or may not be confident about the contents of their presentations. With this research, we aimed to allow presenters to practice their preesenting skills using three Mugbot robots that could ask questions to presenters and praise their responses. In the results of an experiment using student participants conducting graduation research, the students did not gain confidence, but they seemed to be able to put their thoughts together.
