Emoti-bots are a line of prototypical products for future homes that simulate and stimulate emotion. They are experiments developed in an effort to transform common everyday objects into potential interfaces for computing. They look to the affordances and current uses of those objects to develop more natural, instinctive and emotional methods of human-computer interaction. The project was featured on several blogs and online publications, including Engadget, Robot Activate and in the tech section of the Wall Street Journal.
