Short Description
The aim of this project is to create a anthropomorphic robot that can be used to hug others when separated by a large distance.
Scenario: Problem Sketch and solution
One of the consequences of globalisation is that work will become more specialized. The job that fits you may no longer be found in your local area, in your city or even in your country. Work will separate people from their homes, their relatives. To provide for your family might imply not being able to bring your children to bed. People will get ever more lonely due to a lack of physical interaction with loved ones.
We hope that our robot can provide in the longing of people for physical contact with loved ones by enabling its users to hug others over a long distance. The receiver of the hug will have an anthropomorphic robot in their homes which will act as an avatar for the user sending the hug. The sender’s hugging motion is captured via camera’s and that data is used to make the robot emulate that motion. A microphone and speakers are used to let the users communicate spoken words via the robot. Virtual reality can be used to give the sender a more immersive hugging experience.
