Our Mission
Peerbots is a research-informed software non-profit building social robots for everyone, powered by experts. We research and develop low-cost ways to broaden access to social robots and virtual characters. We recognize that each person brings their own expertise and work to make it easy for experts to use social robots in their field.
Values & Principles
The foundational commitments guiding everything we build and research at Peerbots.
Universal Design
We design our tools and resources to reach as many people as possible, ideally everyone!
People-centric
We focus on the people using the technologies, what they need and desire and how we can make tools that work for them.
Everyone is an expert
Expertise varies, and everyone is an expert on at least one thing. We work to make it easy to express your expertise through social robots.
Removing barriers to access
We work to reduce the barriers to accessing social robots, whether they be cost, technical expertise or any others that prevent or intimidate people into getting started with robots.
Research-informed
We collaborate with academics to learn from and inform the research community about social robots and virtual characters.
