Interactive Communication Partner

3rd Semester, Tools - 3D Printer, Lasercut, Raspberry Pi, Sensors, Arduino, Google Assistant, DialogFlow - Projectpartner Erik Eimterbäumer

Based on the target group of elderly people (age 70+) we tried to find a solution for the age related issue of the lack of communication and solitude. We developed the idea of a non human, but empathic communication partner, that we realized with the integration of a voice interface in a plant pot. It is able to communicate it's own needs, but also able to respond to those of the human. Further it's purpose is to motivate lonely people to make new contacts and do activities.

Application

Tools - AngularJS

On top of that we developed an application that is connected with the plant serving as a setup agent and showing recent conversations.

Developing Process
