A mechanical babyfeeding arm and a soft dragon costume are among this collection of products, designed by a trio of students to help the next generation adapt to the presence of robots (+ slideshow).
Stephan Bogner, Philipp Schmitt and Jonas Voigt from Germany's University of Design Schwaebisch Gmünd designed four conceptual objects that address safety in the home, as well as the perceived social status of bionic beings.
Students at the University of Design Schwaebisch Gmünd have created a collection of products to help the next generation adapt to robots
Each of the Raising Robotic Natives accessories is created for a future when robots are essential in people's homes and lives, particularly as production volumes increase and prices fall. The Robot Baby Feeder Toolhead is a bright yellow mechanical arm that can hold a baby bottle to feed a small child, saving parents 15 to 30 minutes per bottle, according to the designers.
To make robots more approachable, the students created a Dragon Costume that can be pulled over a robotic arm like a sock
Other robots could be made less intimidating with the use of the Dragon Costume, which can be pulled over a robotic arm like a sock, transforming it into a softer and more approachable toy.
