Robot that Sweats to Remind the Elderly of High-temperature

Published: 01 April 2020 Publication History

Abstract

The elderly are more affected by higher environmental temperatures. If they misperceive the temperature, it can lead to a number of potentially dangerous health issues. To address this, we propose a robot that sweats to indicate the high environmental temperature to the elderly. In this paper, we present the design of our first prototype for exploring the human perception of robot sweat status.
