Zenbo: Meet your robotic ZenBuddy*
Zenbo is an interactive robotic assistant with an emotive ‘face’ screen and mobile ‘body’ that facilitates and encourages people through tasks designed to target mental health behaviors associated with aggressive behavior, mood, and substance use. Zenbo is a robot that was purchased by RIT’s CHST and will be adapted in-house to target mental health principles through multidisciplinary work: psychologists in CHST design Zenbo’s conversation, text, and other content; the code and programming to direct Zenbo to target mental health content is designed by Linwei Wang (Department of Computing and Information Sciences) and Jenny Zheng (Kate Gleason College of Engineering)
