Abstract : We present the design of a minimalist interactive social robot named Haksh-E which integrates audio-visual perception with artificial intelligence to nurture positive behaviors in children. We co-designed the robot’s embodiment with children acting as design informants. The robot features expressive interactions, real time conversation and human action detection capabilities. Haksh-E can assist children in learning new behaviors as a tutor, play a supportive role in health interventions and also pose as an objective assessor of various indicators of health and hygiene.
