Nao robot was used as the robot teacher and is programmed to able to teach the students. Each teacher (robot and human) delivered the same topic with the same sentences and gestures. The topic chosen for this experiment is “Introduction to Mechatronic” due to the scope that focuses on technical students in university level. To make this research more applicable, some variables were decided when handling the experiment. The finding of this research is displayed in graphs for each question. Excited feeling experienced by the students involved in the experiments is the important point for the comparison between robot and human teacher lecture class.
