WiP Demo

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 provide advantages that current high-end robots do not have: they are well suited for large-scale studies and they are accessible for students and hobbyists. We describe the main parts of the current prototype: the modules, the frame, the foam and textile cover, and the control box and electronics. We also describe the planned improvements for our next prototype.
