What are PEERbots?
Peer-based Educational & Emotional Relationships: A social robot and assistive communication toolkit for caregivers looking for new solutions.
PEERbots are essentially specialized puppets, where the teacher or facilitator is completely in control and assuring appropriate responses to the individual or class. Users may use two devices, one in the mode of the controller and one as the “robot” face.
It’s easy for non-technical individuals to create, edit and share content in advance. This means an expert educator or facilitator can scale their impact by sharing with others (or for example create content that could be taken and used at home for continuity and reinforcement).
The PEERbots app is an open-source social robot and controller platform aimed at bringing the benefits and joys of social robots to a broad audience. This tool may be used to support wellness programming, communication, education, research, entertainment or whatever makes the world a better place!
