Vidya Robot
Personal Project | 7 Weeks | San Francisco, CA.
Tools : Autodesk Alias | Fusion 360| Keyshot | Adobe Photoshop
Sponsor : Kandu AI, San Jose, CA.
Collaboration : Vargas International Elementary School, Sunnyvale, CA.
Using Kandu AI technology of facial recognition and object recognition, Vidya is a teaching assistant robot helping teachers and students of elementary school with their tasks. Out of many functions, Vidya’s main function is to assist teachers with their mundane task, allowing them to focus more and utilize their time with the students. Vidya helps students, individually or in group with their queries and increases their learning experience via real-time animations. it made sense to develop an approachable and friendly form to make a seamless physical and digital interaction between the robot and human. The smart materials are equipped with a feedback interaction and is intended to elevate the smooth form to make this robot seamlessly be a part of the classroom.
Working closely with Vergas Elementary School in Sunnyvale to understand the problems and needs of a teacher. It was a great experience to hear their views about robots in classroom and experience the excitement and imagination children have about robots.
