Puzzling Exercises for Spatial Training with Robot Manipulators

Robot operation requires spatial reasoning and can be used for spatial training. This paper proposes exercises for training spatial skills through operating robot manipulators in virtual and real environments. The exercises were implemented in a robotics workshop, and the follow-up indicated a significant advance of the participants in performing mental rotation tasks.Categories and Subject DescriptorsI.2.9 [Artificial Intelligence]: Robotics – manipulators, operator interfaces, workcell organization and planning.General TermsPerformance, Experimentation, Human Factors.
