Haru

Haru

The Honda Research Institute envisions a society in which the relationships between autonomous cyberphysical systems, humans and nature might be mutually beneficial. In this context, we developed Haru as a unique entity capable of communicating affects and to explore various research on long-term interaction, cooperation and creativity through empathetic engagement. Together with our multidisciplinary partners, we are currently developing Haru as an embodied mediator that will connect children from different schools and institutions from around the world, and facilitate their interaction through a series of activities that involve self-expression through open discussion and community sharing. These activities are designed to familiarize children with the value of diversity, and to foster understanding and acceptance at a very early stage.
