Tan, H., Yang, F., Tummalapalli, N. T., Bhatia, C., & Barde, K. (2017, March). Raven: A Street Robot to Address Homelessness. In Proceedings of the Companion of the 2017 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (pp. 397-398). ACM.

Raven is an interactive robotic object that is placed on busy streets to share requests made by homeless individuals (at local community centers) with the settled population in the city. People can fulfill these requests either themselves or collectively by contributing funds, services, or time.

The video showcases the story that our team communicated at the Human-Robot Interaction Conference 2017 in Vienna, Austria.
