Our Mission

Robo Ludens is a design framework that merges elements from human-robot interaction (HRI) and game design techniques to facilitate the integration of interactive and playful activities when social robots and humans are interacting. Robo Ludens capitalizes on years of experience in HRI and game design to identify the fundamental elements used to create enjoyable experiences mediated by social robots and games. Our mission is to foster better interactions between game design and HRI communities aiming to enrich the convergence of the disciplines, providing hands-on workshops, pedagogical materials and design tools.
