Summary

This study looked at whether children with cochlear implants would use a humanoid robot at home for speech therapy practice. Ten children aged 8 to 12 tested the robot, and researchers measured how many hours per week they used it. The goal was to see if a robot could make home practice easier and more fun, reducing the need for frequent clinic visits.
