Unlike screen-based tools including computers and phones, social robot that interact and communicate with humans are still out of reach for the common user. The MechPet project is a series of prototypes that attempt to makes the idea of social robotics accessible and acceptable to more people. Beecho, the first prototype, is a robotic pet used to study the development of emotional relationships between humans and machines. To generate emotional connection, Beecho behaviors are set remotely by a distant loved one. Beecho operates as a representation of a loved person, while it reacts and responds to its local environment.<\/p>\n<h3>Classes<\/h3>\n<p>Thesis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dimelsa Medina MechPet is a series of semi-autonomous androids that explore the human\/machine interaction.
