| HU students test a robot that helps children to express their feelings |
| Impulse control can be complicated for young children. Nick van Breda, co-initiator of SAMbuddy, feels that young children should be able to withdraw at any time so they can vent their feelings. The SAMbuddy robot helps children by allowing them to express their feelings in the moment. As part of the research for their minor, students from HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht visited schools to test the cuddly robot on children. |
