Affective Computing
Technology is mostly locked out of important parts of our world and our experience of life because it lacks understanding of what is going on inside our minds – how we feel. Without understanding how people feel inside, there are serious barriers for us in improve people’s lives.
Affective Robotics
A physically present agent motivate human behavior more strongly. It brings its technology with it, wherever people go. And it can use human metaphors in interaction and development of relationships.

UXD TaskCreate an interactive social robotics solution (a concept) for education
Explore the possibilities and create a concept how “social robot” could demonstrate feelings
Things to think about (or intentionally ignore):• Functions, Effect• Aesthetics, Affect• Interactions: individual, social, environmental• Emotions, Fun, Acceptance
