This research was centred on the development of a social robot for immigrant integration, which starting taking place in 2019. It took place as the creation of a robotic Islamic mosque with minaret.
It is thought for Muslim families of immigrants in other countries. These immigrants typically struggle in their integration, while being concerned about the loss of their children of study of Arabic and of the Quran. The robotic mosque has a minaret that calls at the time of the prayer and interactively teaches Arabic and the Quran, joining also teachings regarding the religion of the host country (that is, Japan, or a European country), effectively helping integration in an indirect way to the whole immigrant family.

I travelled to Europe to coordinate the work at Siegen University in July 2019. after stopping by Bruxelles to give a keynote speech on the same topic at the LSR2019 congress.

In August I also visited the London East Mosque and had the opportunity to have a hearing with Shaykh Mahmoud, imam.

In Novemeber and December 2019 an Iranian student from Germany, Mehrbod Manavi, came as a visiting student and developed the hardware and part of the software of the mosque. The next step will be to complete the software and the contents, through another student.
