Abstract

Handwriting is an important skill in children development as well as in education that take years to be mastered. While keyboards and similar technological devices increasingly become more popular, new tools and engaging approaches are also required to keep children motivated in the learning process of this fundamental fine motor skill. In this paper, we present the iReCheck platform, an innovative multimodal interactive system capable of providing personalised handwriting training through a social robot companion and serious games in a tablet, easily adoptable by teachers and therapists in their daily educational practices. Results from studies in multiple contexts, such as schools, clinics, and hospitals are showing the potential application of our proposal not only to investigate handwriting itself but also in strongly correlated aspects, such as inner-motivation and student's posture.
