GoonQuad: an emotive quadruped for exploring human-robot interaction
Article No.: 56, Pages 1 - 4
Abstract
We present GoonQuad, an emotive quadruped capable of expressing emotional behaviours as a response to human touch. GoonQuad comprises five prerecorded states: angry, cheerful, sleepy, confused and a baseline breathing state. Each state is triggered by human touch in areas specified by the eyebrows and a tattoo, painted with conductive ink. Moreover, GoonQuad is capable of recording and replaying movements via direct user manipulation. To enable the robot to record and replay new motions, analog feedback servos were embedded in the 3D printed structure. Our aim was to develop a system where users can interact with a robot naturally and the robot can adapt to this natural interaction.
