Education using humanoid robots can have a positive impact in many fields, including medical or physical training. This study investigated the effects of robot interactions with respect to facial expressions, gestures, voices and their combinations on education elderly regarding information communications technology (ICT) from functional emotional perspectives. In this study, robot's interaction methods were divided into four categories: (1) voice, (2) voice expression, (3) gesture, (4) expression gesture. An experiment involving an educational application was conducted total 15 people over age 60. The effect method identified by means subjective survey evaluation practice performance data analysis, error rate, task success number retrainings. Through experiment, aspects measured. results showed that perceived effectiveness not significantly affected type interaction, but degree which felt like it had emotions, human, friendly different according employed robot. best achieved when gesture used together during tutoring. Recognizing ICT increases interest participation education, such are concluded be suitable for performing education. addition, designing robotic interactions, use gestures is expected lead greater anthropomorphism, resulting stronger relationship robots.
