Labo is Watching You

Abstract

Endogenous smartphone interruptions have changed many aspects of people's daily lives, particularly in the study and work environment. We create a robot that could persuade you inherently by enhancing the desk lamp with posture changes and facial expression of gaze, which is affordable on both cost and interaction. This paper presents our design considerations and the first prototype to show the possibility of alleviating people's endogenous interruptions through persuasive robots.
