The Huggable

The Huggable is a personal robot platform intended to explore applications in healthcare, education and remote-communication.

The project was conceived by Walter Dan Stiehl and has many contributors. Please see the description on the MIT Media Lab Personal Robot’s Group website. As an undergrad, I did the electrical layout for some of the touch sensor circuit boards. Later, as a master’s student, I extended this work into the Sensate Bear.
