Social robots are used in different spaces that are shared between humans and robots. Often, communication with these robots requires the use of speech or gestures for the robot to understand how a person feels and react accordingly, which may make these interactions difficult for some autistic people or non-verbal people.

The objective of this project is to develop a communication app that non-verbal and autistic people can use to communicate how they feel to one of our social robots (Pepper or NAO). There is an important component of UX/UI design, but if the student is interested in programming behaviours for said robot, the project could be modelled to incorporate this. In any case, details must be discussed with the supervisor.
