A Persuasive Robot that Alleviates Endogenous Smartphone-related Interruption

Abstract

The endogenous interruptions of smartphones have impacted people's everyday life in many aspects, especially in the study and work scene under a lamp. To mitigate this, we make a robot that could persuade you intrinsically by augmenting the lamp on your desk with specific posture and light. This paper will present our design considerations and the first prototype to show the possibility of alleviating people's endogenous interruptions through robots.
