Project EMAR is an interdisciplinary effort to investigate effective measurement of adolescent stress levels by means of a social robot.
This Ecological Momentary Assessment Robot, EMAR, is being developed by a cross-campus team of researchers at the University of Washington, based at UW Tacoma and UW Seattle.
Why Teens?
Teens face more stress than any other age group. That stress can negatively impact teens mental and physical health
Why a Social Robot?
Social robots are different from a robot you might find in a factory. The purpose of a social robot is to be a companion, provide support, or gather information from people and their environments. While researchers are studying social robots with children, adults, and seniors, no one has looked closely at teens and social robots. We are trying to change that!
