Abstract :
In this paper we propose an educational robotic system for teaching kids at nursery schools how to write and draw simple shapes. Our system uses the humanoid robot NAO to draw shapes appearing on a computer screen. The system uses light polarization property for fast detection of the screen despite of its content. We also propose a mapping from the image domain to the robot space.
