CHIBO: A Robot Design for Parent-child Feeding Scenario

Abstract

Inappropriate child-feeding behaviors are one of the causes of childhood obesity or stomach problems. Children from 1 to 5 years old don't know how much they should eat and parents may not know whether their children are full or not. Therefore, we designed a robot in a parent-child feeding scenario that visualizes children's daily diet through changes in its form. It aims to establish a more intuitive connection between scientific quantitative standards and actual feeding scenarios in the form of peripheral interaction. Thus solving the problem of real-time feedback in feeding.
