OH MY ROBOT: DESIGNING EMOTIONAL CONNECTION BETWEEN USERS AND THEIR ROBOTS
Lucerna Cinema
Have you ever realized how happy you feel when you get home and see your beloved robot vacuum resting in its docking station after cleaning your house? We are increasingly surrounded by more and more robots, and as we become more reliant on them—our emotions towards them will deepen.
Mediation and matchmaking between the device and robot to their user is a necessity in our world today. And as robots become an integral part of our daily lives, they will continue to affect us in many ways in the future.
