Description
Summary:The professional tests and exams from schools nowadays have become an important platform to test candidates’ academic ability or professional skills. During the tests, a large number of human invigilators are required when a large number of examinees are involved which resulting in high manpower costs. This project will focus on the design and developments of a robotic exam invigilator that will serve in examination set-up and ensure the proper operation while the exam is in progress. It will not only minimize the manpower costs but also the unnecessary human error caused. Our robotic exam invigilator serves the purpose of reducing the manpower costs during exams. It can replace human invigilators to distribute papers, verify candidates’ identity, communicate with candidates when problems arise, etc. It has huge potential market values and can be widely used in all types of exams with some modifications to its functions. In our project, NTU examinations and continuous assessments (CAs) settings are assumed. The robot invigilator can be used during NTU examinations/CAs as invigilators throughout the exam process. Only one main invigilator is needed to control the robot.
