Stevie, the assistive robot
Stevie is a socially assistive robot that was developed at the Robotics and Innovation lab in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. The design was heavily motivated by the need to develop robots that could perform tasks that could empower users that faced challenges maintaining their independence, such as older adults and people living with disabilities.
Its head comprises two digital displays that allow it to convey emotions and socially interact with users. This design also allows it to have Skype calls and to use the displays to facilitate games. It had two small arms, which can be used to emphasise emotions, show attention, and gesture. The robot is equipped with a range of sensors including a depth sensor, LIDAR, and 360 degree camera. The team are currently in the process of planning for a field pilot and are also developing a new version of the robot, to be unveiled in early 2019.
