Members of the Programming Education Team in our group successfully held a Learning Programming Workshop at Rikoten 2014 on Nov 1-2. They used an extended version of the Andoroid application Manekko-dance for controlling Robots by intuitive visual programming. The workshop attracted around 100 attendees. Thank you for your participation and supports! The preliminary result of the previous similar workshops will be presented at ACE 2015 next January. Moreover new results at this Workshop will be included into future submissions to some international conferences and journals.
