Ono is a low cost DIY reproducible social robot designed to make large scale human-robot
interaction (HRI) studies more feasible financially, as well as to make social robotics …

One of the major obstacles in the study of HRI (human-robot interaction) with social robots is
the lack of multiple identical robots that allow testing with large user groups. Often, the price …

The lack of shared community social robot platform has been one of the main reasons that
made scalable and replicable research activities in human-robot interaction (HRI) and …

This paper describes the current status of Ono, an open source social robot that can be
made using DIY tools and techniques. We believe that low-cost open source social robots …
