In this paper we present an educational robot called Wolly, designed to engage children in an affective and social interaction. Indeed, we are now focusing on its role as an educational and affective robot capable of being controlled by coding instructions and at the same time interacting verbally and affectively with children by recognizing their emotions and remembering their interests, and adapting its behavior accordingly.
