Arpi

Arpi is a social robot designed to keep children with tonic-clonic epilepsy company and help the families to take care of them. Arpi monitors the child's mood and empathically interacts with him through movements and sounds. When a seizure begins, it alerts the parents and monitors the time to assess whether it is necessary to seek professional help. Additionally, it is low cost and can be used in any environment, making it accessible to children in low-income countries, who, due to a lack of a good diagnosis and treatment, experience physical and emotional difficulties in their daily lives.
