Current Research & Future Research

Current research focuses on design games as a way of engaging individuals living with depression to explore the personalized physical design, sensor choice, and potential use case scenarios of a socially assistive robot. Games include a tabletop roleplaying game, as well as a card game.

​

Other workshops include general discussion on the physical design of a socially assistive robot, accompanied by a sketch artist, as well as privacy implications for sensor data collection by the robot to be used either as a reflection tool or in therapy with clinicians.
