Meditation Robotics

Yoann Douillet – Meditation Robotics

Meditation Robotics is an EPFL+ECAL Lab research project in collaboration with EPFL’s Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience. It aims to assist meditation practices through multimodal sensorial support. It combines audio content with haptic inputs such as dynamic pressure, vibrations and temperature patterns.

The general purpose of the project is to define to what extent a user is able to interact with an interface during a multimodal meditative experience and to specify the most suitable interface according to the user’s meditation experience.
