Keepon is a robot designed for use by therapists to help children with social developmental disorders such as Autism. It is designed to interact with children by maintain eye contact and providing affirmative visual cues such as nodding or dancing. The simple design presents a friendly non-threatening face which helps make the child feel more comfortable.
Compared too many robots these days Keepon is pretty simple. It uses 4 motors located in the base to move and has a microphone in the nose and a camera in each eye. It can automatically follow people gaze and dance to a beat or be controlled remotely by a therapist for more complex interaction.
In case you’re wondering a commercial version of Keepon is going to be available soon at http://wowstuff.co.uk./
Wow--that could be really cool. My 7-year-old says Keepon is awesome. It will be interesting to see whether/how it actually works in real therapy sessions.
