Roillo: Creating a social robot for playrooms

Conference Paper, Proceedings of 15th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN '06), pp. 587 - 592, September, 2006

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce Roillo, a social robotic platform for investigating, in the context of children? playrooms, questions about how to design compelling nonverbal interactive behaviors for social robots. Specifically, we are interested in the importance of rhythm to natural interactions and its role in the expression of affect, attention, and intent. Our design process has consisted of rendering, animation, surveys, mechanical prototyping, and puppeteered interaction with children.
