Robot Faces Research Study
Join our friends from the University of Nevada, Reno to experiment with robot facial expressions. Facial expressions can be critical in day-to-day communication, but many traditional robot faces lack expressiveness and flexibility. Through a simple and fun art activity, participants in grades kindergarten through 5th can help researchers learn how to design robot faces that are more trustworthy. Study conducted by the University of Nevada, Reno, National AI Institute for Exceptional Education and the Socially Assistive Robotics Group.
