TaBot: Designing an AI-empowered Robotic Table to Promote Balanced Conversational Experiences

TaBot is a robotic table that can sense and interpret the subtle atmosphere of the conversation (e.g., duration, paces, tone of voice, word choice, and language patterns, etc.) and provide ambient cues to the individuals through non-verbal movements. This work was exhibited at Shenzhen Art Museum (New Venue).
