Problem statement

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic (which started in?), students had to work from home for longer periods of time. Different type of health problems occurred due to the work-from-home situation (source). Students sit in front of their screen for many hours, neglecting their health by not taking breaks or taking care of themselves. Concentration is heavily impacted as well, a phone is almost always in sight and nobody is telling them not to use it.

Students do not need a nanny bot, however, a robot which guides them in the right direction would be very beneficial (sources). This robot will be placed on the desk where the student works. The robot should not be too distracting (1). It should give friendly health-related reminders (2). And It should guide and motivate studying (3).

Objectives

1. Not be too distracting.
2. Support health during studying .
3. Guide studying.
