A social robot.
I joined the MIT Media Lab’s Personal Robots Group as an Undergraduate Research Assistant (UROP). I worked closely with my supervisor and PhD candidate Sooyeon Jeong to assist in launching a study exploring how social robots can help people improve their emotional wellbeing by living with them in their homes.
