Adaptive Emotional Robotics

Python, ROS Human-Centered Technology 2023

Project Overview

This collaborative project focuses on enhancing human-robot interaction through improved emotional expressiveness in QTrobot, a humanoid robot designed for therapeutic and educational environments. The work emphasizes creating technology that adapts to human needs and enhances well-being.

Current Focus

  • Practise and get familiar with ROS
  • Evaluating effectiveness in real-world supportive contexts

Human-Centered Approach

Rather than focusing solely on technical capabilities, this project prioritizes human needs and experiences. The robot is designed as a supportive tool that enhances human connection rather than replacing it, with continuous stakeholder input guiding development.

Technologies Used

  • Python and ROS for implementation
  • User-centered design methodologies
  • Participatory design with stakeholders
