In this paper, we propose Interactive Tutor Robot (ITR) to enhance collaborative e-Learning system for Science and Technology education field. We implemented the robot with powerful communication specification to e-Learning contents. It makes learner to get more efficient environment and education contents by a communication with tutor robot interactively. Based on this idea, we defined a simple prototype system to realize an experimental emotion on the target education contents, and tried to confirm a possibility to extend the function for collaborative e-Learning system according to noble "Qualia" and "Awareness". We propose one of methods to realize the two above concepts.
