MOCCA Studio: a Graphical Tool for High-Level Programming of Human-Robot Social Interaction

In this paper, we introduce a handy and affordable solution we are developing, for education of human-robot social interaction. The solution consists of a smart device-controlled robot with a 3D printed body, a cloud-based integrated development environment that provides intuitive programming and simulation of the robot, and embedded functions enabling intelligent, natural response of the robot. The outline and architecture of the proposed system are briefly explained.
