Designing Social Robots
summary
A life‑sized inmoov torso called Momo is 3D‑printed and assembled in about six months with open‑source software, teleoperated from the next room and pinging a server for images. Ten autistic children are taught nine signs in sessions of 6–28 minutes and seven of ten children imitated the robot. Observations show image + signing condition performed best, safety and privacy rules require encrypted data and a therapist present, and the design is gender‑neutral and modular for adaptation.
