Problem statement

Due to the Covid Pandemic, a lot of people have to work at home. Also children are at home and adults don’t have the time to work the whole day. Design a child friendly robot that can keep a toddler safe for an hour/longer.

Research fields:

The robot has to monitor the child at all times = Privacy and Data safety etics

The robot should react on the emotions of a child to keep it at peace = Human-Robot interaction / Child-Robot interaction etics

The robot should function as a buddy to play with = Child-Robot interaction etics

An extra option could be an educational function, so that the child also learns something during playtime = Human-Robot education etics

Technical design: A child-friendly robot should be designed, the technical aspect will mainly focus on the housing of the robot. So it will mainly focus on the hardware rather than the software.

What robot-shape is childfriendly?

How strong should the robot be?

How should the robot move smoothly?
