Problem statement
Due to the Covid Pandemic, a lot of people have to work at home. Also children are at home and adults don’t have the time to work the whole day. Design a child friendly robot that can keep a toddler safe for an hour/longer.
Research fields: In order to make a childfriendly robot, there should be looked into the etics about child-robot interaction. A clear list of warnings and guidelines should be made for the parents to safely use a robot in their home. Also it should be researched whether parents would even buy a robot as nanny. Also a businessplan should be made for the robot. (costs etc).
| The robot has to monitor the child at all times = Privacy and Data safety etics |
| The robot should react on the emotions of a child to keep it at peace = Human-Robot interaction / Child-Robot interaction etics |
| The robot should function as a buddy to play with = Child-Robot interaction etics |
| An extra option could be an educational function, so that the child also learns something during playtime = Human-Robot education etics |
| What are the users, are there any users that would use a nanny-bot? And what are the advantages and disadvantages for the users involved |
| How much should a nanny-bot cost in order to be reasonable? |
Technical design: A child-friendly robot should be designed, the technical aspect will mainly focus on the housing of the robot. So it will mainly focus on the hardware rather than the software.
| What robot-shape is childfriendly? |
| How strong should the robot be? |
| How should the robot move smoothly? |
