Demonstration of OPSORO's Grid System: Design a Working Social Robot in Only 2 Hours

One of the biggest obstacles to broader adoption of robotics is that only experienced roboticists can develop robotics applications. If we aim to have robots in our homes and offices, we need more tools and platforms that reduce the costs in both money and time. To address the current difficulties of designing custom social robots, we identify an open DIY platform that facilitates the design, construction and production of new custom social robot characters with a focus on face-to-face communication. With this demo with will show the power of the new OPSORO grid system that allows the exploration of social robot identities and interactions in only a few hours.
