BotDirector: Robot Storytelling Across the Symmetrical Reality with Multi-modal Interactions
arXiv:2606.03223v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robot storytelling offers a unique blend of technological innovation and creative expression that engages children in unprecedented ways. However, the technical aspects are often too complicated for children. We propose an interactive system that facilitates robot storytelling with tangible and natural language interactions. Children arrange the playground with their own stuff and create narratives with an LLM agent. The created narratives are transformed into a motion sequence based on the map and characters, and the motions are executed by se
The proliferation of advanced LLMs and increasingly capable robotics is enabling more natural and interactive human-robot interfaces, specifically designed for engaging children in creative tasks.
This research demonstrates a practical application of AI and robotics for education and entertainment, hinting at future human-robot interaction paradigms that are intuitive and accessible.
The system offers a novel method for children to direct robots through natural language and tangible interactions, simplifying complex robot programming into creative play.

This system will likely increase children's engagement with STEM subjects by making robotics and AI more approachable.
It could accelerate the development of more intuitive human-robot interfaces for a broader range of applications, not just for children.
The integration of LLMs with physical robotics could lead to new forms of interactive storytelling and dynamic educational content creation.
