ABSTRACT
The paper presents a novel cognitive architecture RELA - robot-enhanced learning architecture - intended to be implemented in inclusive education via a cyber-physical system for pedagogical rehabilitation. The specific aspect is that it aims to account for some cognitive deficiencies as seen in special education.
RELA is intended to help the learning process of children with various learning needs in inclusive education. It can account for both the need for technological support, as well as the need for teaching artistic performance as a learning method in the classroom. The paper presents the main features of RELA architecture.
