Abstract
ALIZ-E is a Europe-wide project focusing on long-term child-robot interaction, specifically as a means of educating diabetic children on their condition. This video showcases a recent field study at "SugarKidsClub", a camp devoted to helping 7-12 year-olds handle type-1 diabetes. A wide range of CRI activities developed by ALIZ-E were employed, including a large "SandTray" touch table running a tile-sorting game and a "Handshake" touch-inducing activity designed to strengthen the child-robot bond. Apart from helping kids with their unfortunate affliction, the day at "SugarKidsClub" provided us a chance to use new technologies developed for the aforementioned activities as well as furthering our relationship with our primary stakeholders. This playful video highlights some of the footage taken that day within an entertaining story centered on Charlie, one of the NAO robots used for our field study with a pension for battery theft.
