The 'POWER HUG' robot concept has been designed by Taejeong Kim and Yeji Jeon as a comforting technology solution for use in emergency shelters to support humans. The robot is constructed with a soft-sided finish that can be comfortably positioned inside a tent where it will go to work providing warmth thanks to a built-in heater function. The robot also has a series of ports for accessing charging functions and more.
The 'POWER HUG' robot concept is accented by two soft, bendable tubes that wrap around each end of the unit like wheels that can be stretched out. This can be used by the user for stress relief to offer comfort during times of increased unrest.
