Socially Assistive Robot:
​Expressive Therapy Pet Robotic Face

December. 2019
The goal of this project is to create an animal-like therapeutic robotic face that is able to express different facial expressions in response to different physical contacts. The purpose of this project is to discover a possibility in helping elders with dementia and children with ASD.

This therapeutic robot face is able to express 2 different facial expressions (happy and neutral) driven by servo motors connected by strong braided fishing line. Different physical contacts can be recognized via force and flex sensors to trigger different expressions.
