Jesterbot: a Storytelling Robot for Pediatric Rehabilitation



Working with children as design partners we developed Jesterbot, a storytelling robot for use with children in rehabilitation. Children remotely control a soft robot by using a variety of body sensors adapted to their disability or rehabilitation goal. The robot's actions can be recorded along with the child voice to create stories. This project is a joint venture with AnthroTronix, Inc.
