Ringo
Design of a Relational Companion Terminal System Based on Flexible Pressure Sensors
A relational companion concept for urban solo living, combining a desktop robot, magnetic RINGO Core terminal, and app with flexible pressure sensing for natural relationship gestures.
Three-part System
The desktop robot, magnetic Core, and app connect home and away contexts.
Electronic Skin
Flexible pressure sensing reads relational gestures such as tapping and pushing away.
Relationship Gestures
Pulling closer, turning away, and separating connect intent, interpretation, and response.
Companionship Boundary
The system supplements human connection rather than presenting a machine as a replacement for people.
