Usability evaluation of an educational robot for steM areas. Barradas, R., Lencastre, J., Soares, S., & Valente, A. In CSEDU 2019 - Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Computer Supported Education, volume 2, 2019. doi abstract bibtex Copyright © 2019 by SCITEPRESS – Science and Technology Publications, Lda. All rights reserved. This article describes the development cycle of an educational robot designed to act as an interdisciplinary teaching tool integrated into the curriculum of STEM areas (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). We focused on the creation of the alpha version of the prototype and its heuristic evaluation by three experts, with the objective of appraising both usability and potential design problems. After all the issues and suggestions from the experts have been resolved and implemented, a beta version was developed and evaluated in its usability by five representatives of end-users with different age ranges and robotics knowledge. The System Usability Scale score of 92.5 points - Best Imaginable - show a very stable and satisfactory robot, with almost no usability problems detected.
