SleepMate

into things I living with a bot - designing an emotional relationship I Andreas Schmid, Dominik Anhorn, Max Fuchs I 2019

Betreuende: Prof. Steffi Hußlein, Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal, Master Interaction Design // Kooperation: Designworks BMW Group, Claudia Berger, Yedan Qian

In 2030, home equipped with different forms of bots might become the norm. Given the advantage of AI and machine learning, how would the relationship between humans and bot evolve? What are the alternative narratives of the co-existence or even symbiotic relationship in our future home? Design challenge: Can objects follow our behaviour patterns? We explored the motivation for interaction and relationship building.

SleepMate is an emotional companion designed to help people finding their optimal sleep rhythm and behavior. It is driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and embodies its character through shape, the tactility of its surface, its behavior in movement and feedback through light and sound.
